Bio

All of the memorials I have created and managed are my relatives.

A note about my family name. My paternal great grandfather's last name was Baptista. Errors in the spelling began when he died both by the hospital and the cemetery. I presume these errors originated from language and cultural misunderstandings of those recording the information. Some records for some are spelled Baptiste and some Baptist. Some relatives kept the misspellings.I honor whatever spelling each relative chose to live and die with, so you will see variable spellings on the memorials I have created or maintain.

I am amazed at this community of folks who go out and take photos and write bios of people they have never met. This has filled in holes in my ancestry and even introduced me to relatives I did not know.

THANK YOU!
