Sharing my love of genealogy and my experience as a genealogist to inspire everyone to search out their family trees...the past, present, and future are all connected. Researching your family tree is like looking for a bunch of needles in a whole lot of haystacks, and then threading those needles together to tell your family's story. If you know where you come from you can know who you are and where you're going!

Tombstone Tuesday - Catherine Neher Meinberg Hellmann
Thanks to Tom M. for posting this photo on Ancestry.com. This is the headstone of my fourth great-grandmother Catherine Neher Meinberg Hellmann, born 1839 in Heppenheim, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, died 1918 in Brooklyn, New York. She is buried in Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens, New York. And as she continues to reveal the story of her life to me in bits and pieces, of course I also found her will and probate records on FamilySearch.org last night, so I will post about that later this week.
