Goodbye Grandpa

The person who introduced me to genealogy passed away last week, May 18th, 2009. My grandpa Melvin Scheevel used to show me this red three ring binder which his brother Theodore put together chronicling our family lineage from Holland. Ever since then the exploration of my family tree has been my passionate hobby. He was my last living grandparent. I have posted the obituary from the local News-Record newspaper. Melvin will be greatly missed.
