I began my genealogical journey when I was a 23 year old marine biologist waiting to find her first "real job" as a biologist. I had won tickets to a basketball tournament being held in Salt Lake City, UT and I had little to no money to do other activities beyond the tournament itself. I was complaining to my mother, and she told me that I could "go find out about your grandfather." I was totally lost. I told her that while we didn't know that much about her father, I knew he was buried in St. Louis, Missouri. She told me that the world's largest genealogical library was located in SLC and after gathering all of the information she and her sister could remember about their father (he died when they were both very young), I headed to SLC.  Since then I have found out so much information about both sides of my family, followed my 2x Great Grandfather around his civil war service, researched my husband's family tree, as well as helping some friends and family solve mysteries about their families. I am a scientist by training, am very good at research, and I love a good mystery. So genealogical research is right up my alley.
