Mark Cross became interested in genealogy at the age of 12 when he read an unpublished family tree by a distant relative. This included an ancestor's transcribed letter about fighting for the Union in the Civil War. Mark discovered a link to a Mayflower passenger and a Revolutionary War Patriot and is very active in the Sons of the American Revolution.
