Bio

I've been doing genealogy for about 50 years and with the help of findagrave.com have found many of my relatives, thanks to other volunteers.

I'm Retired and my kittens and I sit in front of the computer daily, doing research on the ancestors. Actually, Quinn, the big brother, sleeps right smack in the middle of my desk, while little sister, Barry, stands in the middle of the desk and never both of them together.

I can do photos for Bonners Ferry, Idaho and maybe other North Idaho areas after I learn about the area of my new life.

It is so sad when a headstone is damaged from a person and not the elements. I have too many like this in my family. If you find recent headstones damaged, report it. It is a Federal Felony. Finding the person is difficult but if we, as genealogists, don't protect them...
WHO WILL

I am presently working on trees for my sister-in-law for her sons. I am also working on my neighbors tree (for his sister). Plus trees for 3 nieces and 2 nephews on their Mothers side. That equals out to 3 trees (7 if I count the first 2). And, my own so my N & N will have their Fathers tree. Retirement does have some perks, like staying up for 2 days because you've hit a gold mine of info and you don't feel tired at all until you wake up with a face plant on your desk.
There is one IRK that I have...According to the National Cemetery Group: The name on the headstone is the name a male was born with. In other words, Just because my Dad is a Sr. at his death, does not mean he was a senior at birth. My oldest brother is a Jr. from birth. I realize that you know your relative is a Sr. and when you use it on the headstone doesn't help when you don't have the Jr. listed. I'm talking about LONG time ago graves. Please put the Sr. under notes or short bios. Thank you for you contributions.
