Hello! I have a passion for genealogy, and I love learning about the history of the world through my ancestors' lives. From the minute that I found my father and grandmother's ship manifest sailing from Palermo to New York - I was hooked! I am new to Findagrave - so most of my memorials are people that I am related to. I also am a volunteer at my local historical society here in Antioch, Illinois - Lakes Region Historical Society. I enjoy working on house histories, writing posts about the past, and learning more about my own family.
