I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I've been doing genealogy for too many years now. This is, hands down, THE most difficult and slow software to use for genealogy. Apparently no way to upload a gedcom to save time and effort. I have been trying to manually add a parent of my great grandmother, but this software stupidly adds the parent as a child of a descendant, creating an irrational loop! Not completely user intuitive, and not easy to use. It claims to have found records, but when you click on it to see what it found it instead sends you to the Ancestry.com paywall.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.

Elvis Presley Drafted!
"All Shook Up" wasn't just an Elvis hit in 1957, it was the state of the nation's female population when Elvis Presley was drafted into the U.S. Army in March, 1958. Tens of thousands of fans wrote letters to the Army, asking that Elvis be "spared" from the draft. Many thought that it was the end of the King of Rock and Roll, and that his career couldn't survive a two year hiatus. Of course, Elvis returned from the Army and became an even bigger sensation - even inspiring the Broadway hit Bye Bye Birdie and the subsequent movie of the same name. Until his premature death in 1977 at age 42, he was an icon - and remains one to this day. Here's a look at the arguably most influential entertainer of the 20th century from his childhood through his Army career.
