I was born and raised in Connecticut. In 1982 I stumbled upon my mother's box of old pictures and became fascinated, never having realized we had any. Identifying them was the first priority, then photo-copying, then contacting relatives I'd never known, to find more. In no time at all I was into genealogy in a big way. Find A Grave is a gem of a web site.
