I am now a Full-time Genealogist, working on my family tree, in which I have found other missing family members, of other trees; who happen to be under my family tree distantly. I do this out of respect for the deceased. I originally started putting in my own family while doing a family tree for our family, but in my searches for obituaries, I also am adding many current obituaries from the local newspapers. I hope any family members I have added, enjoy visiting and leaving flowers at the sights. Not all obituaries have birthdays or cemetery names with them because of private burials. If anyone has any information they would like to add please feel free to email them to me and I will add them. You may also inform me of any information I may have wrong and I will fix it. If you come across a relative of yours that I have posted, please let me know and I will transfer ownership to you. I presently have over 1,400+ Family Trees open. I do this to help other families, who are looking for the missing people of their own Family Tree. My condolences to all who have lost a friend or family member. I am in the process of getting my Genealogy Certification done.

Here are some of the Family Names within my tree.
DeGraff/DeGraaf/Bergquist/Carney/Kearney/O'Kearney
Kneeland/Nealon/Neeland
Sawicki/Brown/Kneeland
McCarrick
Green/Greene/Lyall
Hagerström/Skögsberg
Ashe/McNamara/LaPorte/Crowley
Hunt/Luippold/Surette
and an endless list of other family names


I have done endless work on other headstones in numerous cemeteries, and it mystifies some of the information you find and learn about those who have come before you.

I am open to taking pictures of headstones in Worcester, MA; as this is where my mother's family is from. This also includes Leicester, MA.

Some of my hobbies as well as my days of marching competitive band and drum and bugle corps in the 1970s.
Collecting U.S. Coins and some foreign coins as well.
I'm always interested in how many of our Nation's coins came about, during our time as just 13 colonies to what the U.S.A. is today.
