~ Upon discovering Find A Grave's website, I recognized the value of documenting lost loved ones. Future generations will have access to the history of their family members that may be otherwise forgotten through the years of changing generations.

Adding personal photos reflecting the life and times of a relative is especially important.

*** We are chosen. In each family, there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts, but instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe.

~ Many of our Italian relatives (Roberti's & Gonnello's) are located at St. Michael's Cemetery, 1601 State St., Springfield, MA. 01109 ~~Some Italian & French Canadian relatives are located at Hillcrest Park Mausoleum, 895 Parker St., Springfield, MA. and St. Thomas the Apostle Cemetery, 420 Kings Highway, West Springfield, MA.
