Ever since I was a child, I've always been fascinated by family stories, how everyone is related to whom, and have always thought cemeteries were pretty cool places to visit.

The genealogy bug bit about 20 years ago and has not let go! I discovered my elderly next door neighbor was related to my late husband 9 generations back! When I told her of the connection she said "I knew there was a reason I liked you!".

Findagrave has helped me immensely to fill in missing dates, ages and other family facts.

I've just started to look into taking photos in my area to help others find their relatives graves. I wonder what the deceased would say if they knew we were looking for them!
