I was born and raised in Michigan. I am retired and a widower, living in northern Arizona, where it is cooler in the summer, and lite winters.

I am the father of five children, and blessed with 16 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren, the seventh child, from a family of nine, an eleventh generation Pierce descendant of Thomas Pierce (Peirce), from England and an eleventh generation Brewster, my maternal family, descendants of "Elder" Brewster of the "Mayflower".

I enjoy history, finding family, helping others discover their loved ones, and establishing "A place of Remembrance" for those that have left, lest they be forgotten!
