When people ask me how long I have been doing genealogy, the most truthful answer is "all my life." My parents talked a lot about family and I listened. I guess I first started recording information when I was 20, which was more than 50 years ago. I am now into DNA for Genealogy and have used it to break down a lot of brick walls. I appreciate Find A Grave for making it possible to memorialize our ancestors. The surnames of most interest to me are BACK, GARRISON, CLARK, SIMMONS (married name).
