I was born in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas and grew up visiting and tending family cemeteries with my parents and grandparents. Like most people on Find a Grave, I became interested in family history and memorial preservation at an early age.

I'm related to and research the following families and branches in the U.S. and beyond: Arnold, Bridgwater/Bridgewater, Cantu, Cavazos, Creel, Houston, Juarez, Lindsey, Little, McKinney, Milstead/Milsted, Salinas, Smith (NY/TX), Solis, Stapp, Villarreal, Young and Zapata. By marriage and other associations, I'm connected to families Brockman (TX), Henderson (AR/TX), McMichael (PA/TX), Redington (UK), and Witham (UK).
