I started working on my own genealogy when I became disabled and couldn't get around at first. I got bitten by the bug of finding people and of following the history of families and areas. It's fun to figure out where people and families ended up. Can be like a puzzle at times. Now I get talked into working on other people's trees too (haha, twist my arm!) so I have ten trees or more going on now. But hey, it keeps me interested and I love getting communications from relatives and other Find-A-Grave-ers.

I authorize anyone to use my family photos or gravestone photos for your family trees. I think it's very important to post photos anywhere for relatives who live too far away or are too infirm to come visit their family graves. I'd appreciate credit but the most important thing is to find the graves!
