His admitted obsession began with his need to learn all he could about his mother, who died suddenly during a family vacation when he was four years old. His family tree, published on Ancestry.com, has grown to over sixteen thousand people; all of whom are either related by birth or marriage, or are somehow associated with his family.Mr. VanBlaricom was born and raised in Los Angeles County, California; served four years as a bandsman in the U. S. Air Force; graduated the University of Texas, Austin, with a Bachelor of Arts in English; and had a twenty-year career as a professional firefighter. It was not until his retirement that he was able to fully immerse himself in his family history research.His family narratives present not only the mere facts of the peoples' lives - birth, marriage and death - but also stories of where and how they lived, how the events and institutions of the time affected them, and vice versa.His two favorite words are, "I wonder . . ."He resides in Prescott, Arizona with the love of his life.Connect with Mike VanBlaricom Online:Facebook: http://facebook.com/Mike.VanBlaricom.73ver menos
