I became interested in family history after having a heart attack in 1981. I come from a fractured family. My two grandmothers died before I was born. Dad was estranged from his father, and I never met him. Mom's Dad remarried to her wicked stepmother. We visited them in 1937-- our baggage was by the front door the next morning. I never saw grandfather again, although he lived another twenty years. So, I had a lot to learn. Mom's half sister gave me information, a start on learning on maternal family. Dad's first cousin gave me much info on his family. I have made much progress.
I am willing to share information and help others in searching their family history. I am optimistic that others will help me, too.
