I have been doing genealogy for 40 years. I have expanded my research to include genetic genealogy and digital archiving. I have DNA information on 6 of my lines look back at deep ancestry and the migration paths of our ancestors.I am also a photographer and use Photoshop and Lightroom to restore and preserve old photos. I currently have over 34,000 images of old family photos and documents. I use the online sites to distribute old family photos to relatives. I love to travel and have used my genealogy to visit old family homesteads and to enhance our traveling experience through family history and local history.I find it interesting when visiting cemeteries how many graves do not have markers. I also find it very disturbing to see the amount of vandalism of headstones, markers and general lack of upkeep at some cemeteries. My goal is to honor those who lived before us by keeping their memory alive through the telling of their life stories.
