Growing up in a large family on both sides we shared lots of stories and information at family gatherings. My dad started working on keeping records of our family when I was a teen. I fondly remember always stopping at at least one cemetery on every vacation to find "a grave". My dad was WWII vet as well and sometimes we were working on tracking down fellow vets graves as well. My husband and I both have a love of this and are teaching our boys to love it as well. They regularly accompany me to local cemeteries to take pictures for requests.We love the feeling of making someone remember a loved one and maybe sharing a story or memory with someone else to keep the memories alive.
