I love family history. I never use to. Years ago I found research hard and I'd give up. My mother was the "keeper" of the records for our family, and I think I just naturally inherited her passion. I love having pictures to go with my information. It makes the person seem more real and I feel like I can make a connection with my kindred. It also helps me to see who I am, why I do the things I do, my likes, hopes and dreams.

Thank you all for taking the time to go out and fill my request. I know I don't take the time to thank you individually but please know that each picture is accepted with the most humblest of gratitude and appreciation. Even if there is no picture available I appreciate your willingness to search for my ancestor's record.

Thank you again from the very bottom of my heart.....Michelle
