I'm a retired U.S. Army Finance Corps major. I'm also a civilian retired Accounting Manager. I've lived my adult life by the by-words: show me the document. I make sure I have a document, or a governmental record backing up any suggestion I make. If you need to quote the source of the change, please just ask. I used to include the whole transcript of the source in "Suggest other correstions", just to show the backup, but several maintainers would put the whole transcript in the "bio" which was not what I intended.

My, wife, Maria Albrecht, and I have been researching our family histories since 1989. She is German and has found 3100+ relatives dating back to 1492. I found 2200+ relatives.

My grandparents include: Courtney, Cull, Dugan, Gemmell (Gamil), Kenny, McCole, McKee, Murray, Reilly, and Wilson.

Maria's grandparents include: Albrecht, Bastian, Fass, Herbrandt, Hesch, Hirschfeld, Keller, Kennel, Mueller, Muench, Scheidel, Schira, Weber, and Zinsmeister to name a few.

Starting 2013, I started adding biographies to the memorials in FindaGrave.

I tend to gravitate to re-uniting big families in Find-a-Grave by finding their obits and linking them together. Might have something to do with the fact I'm child number 11 of 15 kids of a coal miner's family.
