I grew up in southeastern Wisconsin. I am addicted to genealogy. I love to help break through those brick walls. I really appreciate all the hard work fellow Find-A-Grave members and genealogists have done. This site is an amazing gift to those who want to know their family history.

My maternal side is from Iowa/Missouri with surnames of Sparks, Caudill/Cordle, Jennings, Wilcox, Hubbard, Mundell, Elmore, Cecil, Beaver, Wilson, and McClintock.
My paternal side is from southeastern Wisconsin with surnames of Merten, Luke, Luecker, Spieker, Homan, Dechering, Elsbeck, Risse, and Vogel.

My husband's family surnames are Yucus, Connolly, Shilvock, and Trefz. They came from Lithuania, Ireland, England, and Germany.
