I am 35 years old and I have been doing my Genealogy over 8 years now. I'm just now updating my information since last time I did was when I first joined.

Couple of years ago I started to get into my family tree on Ancestry. My older Brother Sean started it first. I started looking at some sites, went to the family centers to get information on my relatives. I discovered this site 4 years ago. Now I am determine to find my relatives grave sites.

To me it's very important to know my relatives because I want to know where they came from, how they came to the U.S. and their lives.

I'm related to the Rudden's, McCall's, Danaher's, Barry's, Hall's, Coffey, O'Conner, Keating, Clarkin, Turley, Pearson, Walsh, MacKessy and McDonald from my mom's side. I'm currently doing her side and most of them come from Ireland.

I discovered I'm related to Commodore John Barry. I'm his 5th great grand niece. The Barry's have a LOT of history. It's incredible to discover so many things.
