I grew up in Waverly, Iowa & moved with my family down to Leavenworth, Kansas in 1993. I am a May 2008 graduate of Kansas State University and was actively involved with the marching band. I'm a huge fan of Kansas State football and hold season tickets.

I am a new member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). My patriot ancestors are:

George Etzweiler
Jacob Matter
Nicholas Bahner
- was a Hessian soldier who deserted and stayed in Pennsylvania. As of yet, I have been unable to prove he took the Oath of Allegiance which I know he had to of.

One of my biggest interests is in Genealogy and I absolutely love History so its a perfect pairing. I'm fascinated with family histories.

Family names I'm interested in:
Bergman (in IA)
Brandt/Lampe (in IA)
Halweg/Friedrich (in IA)
Tjebkes (in IA)
Stelzer (in IA and MN)
Bohner (in IA and PA)

As for the photos I take for Find A Grave:
If you would like me to transfer any memorials to you I would be more than happy to oblige as I am not interested in stacking up numbers for memorials managed. I think those that have that mindset are very rude people. The only memorials I will not transfer are those for my own family unless very distantly related. Also, if you would like a copy of the original photos posted to memorials please let me know as I am more than happy to send them to you.

CREATED MEMORIALS NOTE:

I will sometimes photograph other plot markers near the graves where I am fulfilling photo requests. If they have no memorial I create one for them and attempt to give them a story based on what I find on various genealogical websites. If at any point you come across a memorial I've created for your ancestor and I have added information you DO NOT want on their memorial, please do not hesitate to let me know and I will gladly remove it. The same applies if there is something that you DO want added to their memorial.If I have included an obituary on any memorial page and you would like a clipping from the actual newspaper please let me know and I will accommodate. If I have added something you wish to be removed PLEASE BE NICE ABOUT IT when letting me know as I am not trying to upset anyone. I don't wish to be scolded like a child.

CURRENT PROJECTS

I am currently working extensively in multiple sections in Mount Muncie Cemetery, therefore I am very knowledgable about the cemetery and have a good working relationship with the cemetery's manager. If you have any questions about a grave or about the cemetery in general please don't hesitate to contact me.

My current goal is to get memorials up for all the ummarked graves in Mount Muncie Cemetery.
