I am the historian & genealogist for my family. I am the one who carries around the camera to record family birthdays, bar-b-ques and graduations. I pester people to share photos & documents. I sometimes carry a small tape recorder too. It all pays off when I assemble information and share it. Then cousins gather round and wonder where I ever found the time to do all this. My interest in my family's past can be traced back to my maternal grandmother, my Nana, Helen Coyle Gardner.She grew up in New York City as the oldest in a large family. As a little girl She had an old trunk full of mementos that inspired her to tell wonderful stories. Listening to them was like traveling in time. I would like to contact other cousins to broaden the information I have; share stories and photos; compare theories on missing information. I'd especially like to learn more about my Mother's Irish roots. I'd especially like to discover what happened to my mother's missing grandfather, Michael Coyle.
