Bio

Hi! I have been researching my family tree since I was 14 and was dragged to the library by my father as he did research. I thought it was boring and unexciting until I found the death of my 2x Great Grandfather. Until then, nobody in the family had known how he died. I found it written in a Civil War correspondence book. He wasn't even in the war but was a mailman who was ambushed and killed by forces while on his route in Missouri. I've been breaking down brick walls ever since.

I like helping others find their family and that includes combing through cemeteries looking for those, sometimes forgotten, ancestors.
