My family history begins . . .
The anticipated release of the 1930 U.S. census records in April 2002 spurred my interest in family history. I began to scour the internet for any information regarding my ancestors. I found my first clue on FamilySearch, the genealogical website developed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). A quick search for my grandparents resulted in the discovery of a Pedigree Resource File (PRF) submitted in 1999. The file contained a collection of family groups and lineages which appeared to include my maternal grandfather. Thus began a new hobby, which has captivated me for over two decades.
