My name is Roberta Godar. I live in Illinois and I'm a mother and grandmother. I'm retired from the utility industry. A few years back I became interested in tracing my mother's ancestry. Her family has deep southern roots in Tennessee and Arkansas. My mother was raised in Shirley, Ark. Although it's been many years since I've been there,I have wonderful memories of visiting my grandparents in Shirley. I came upon Find a Grave a couple of years ago. It's a wonderful site and I plan to add what I can for those future genealogists searching for that tiny piece to the puzzle of our ancestors
