Remarks
I really do not talk about myself. Working on my family history is something I have started and stopped so many times that it always seems that it will never come to a head. Well if it is even possible for that to occur. I had compiled so much data over the years when I was around family.
I grew up with my father in the Navy and then I joined the Marine Corps and I have been traveling all of my adult life. We have settled on the East Coast and our house was flooded with Hurricane Florence and I did not have time or think about grabbing everything so most all of my research is gone. I just got another computer and I am back working on it again.
Moving around for so many years I have never really made any connections with family and I have plans to try to get to some of the family reunions in the near future to try and build some of the relations I was unable to do thus far...
