Have been researching my family history since the 1970's. Families include Stephens, Morgan, Anderson, Reining, Paul and Roegge (primarily in Cass & Morgan Counties, central Illinois); Bentler and Harris in Sangamon County, Illinois, and in the Chicago region the Hoppe and Jasmund families.

In 2014 I began creating memorials for persons not related to me, simply because as I walk through cemeteries searching for my own relatives, I photograph many graves. Often they turn out to be those I was searching for; sometimes they are not. If they're not already in FindAGrave, I add them. I will be happy to transfer any memorials that are not related to me.
