My paternal grandmother, was a genealogist and historian years ago when her research was all "on paper". I inherited the fruits of her work in the form of many binders and paper files. For years, it sat untouched in my closet! However, I have recently become an empty nester with a bit more free time; In addition, my sister and I developed a renewed interest when we moved my mother out of her home and found many old photos and family heirlooms to sort through. We were excited to find that the internet, with sites such as Find-a -Grave,now offer us many additional possibilities for researching family history!
