I became interested in my family after my grandfather died and I read the life story that he had written. From then on I was hooked and finding my ancestors became my lifetime hobby. I also taught genealogy classes for Adult Education, served as president of local genealogical society, and director of Family History Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About fifteen years ago I decided that my file drawers were overflowing with information I had collected and now I needed to do something with it. So much of my research was done before the days of computers. Also as I got older I realized my brain wasn&#8217;t as sharp as I wanted it to be in remembering all my research. So I decided to publish a book, which would be a collection of my research. Well it didn&#8217;t take me long to find out that it wouldn&#8217;t all fit in one book. This project turned out to be three books and would take me ten years to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although these books have been placed in libraries around the country, I have now chosen to add these books to the internet so this research may be more readily available. This web page is the results of all my years of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jim&#8217;s story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have had a love of family history since my mom carted me off to libraries with her. Most of what I know about my ancestors come from my mother&#8217;s work. I inherited the volumes of research she had done along with her of love of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to share my family history in hopes of finding others of the same line that may share information. Especially with such dead ends as Patrick Caffrey, my 3<sup>rd<\/sup> great grandfather.
