I got started doing genealogy back in the 1970s and took a long hiatus when our children came along. The internet has drastically changed family research (for the better), but there's something about physically connecting to a place they lived or were laid to rest that makes them more real.

My photos are available for use by individuals using them for their personal family tree. No additional permission is needed unless being used for publication and/or profit. This is true for personal photos as well as those I take to fill a request.
