Upon my father's death in September 2024, I started doing our family genealogy. Unfortunately death has been a huge part of my life.

My MGF (Turner/Pfeiffer/Balwanz) died when I was 12,

MGM (Boecker/Goellner/Sondermann/Bowman) when I was 19 and

my mother (Turner) when I was 26.

My father (Bartlett/Padgett/Yelton/Hooper) rarely talked of his childhood.

I am actively researching for relatives who would have any family story's to fill in the gaps for me.
