I am a retired New York State Trooper who has always loved putting pieces of a puzzle together to reveal the complete picture. Attention to detail, connecting the dots, and leaving no stone unturned is an obsession in research that I enjoy. The adage someone knows something is with almost total certainty; true. We just need to find it, and genealogy and research is the perfect place for me to dig!

I'm still learning the different avenues to genealogical research. I've begun cleaning gravestones and located flat gravestones the earth has sought to swallow up.

Feel free to impart any advice or tips you have found helpful in your genealogy/gravestone research!
