Find-A-Grave has become a major part of my genealogy passion, and I'm on a mission to connect as many family members as I can. All of my memorials are either my own family connections, those of my spouse, or they are family members/ancestors of friends for whom I've created a memorial at their request. I'm always glad to learn of additions or corrections. If you have a closer family connection to one of my memorials, I will be happy to transfer to you, but would appreciate knowing details of your connection—constantly eager to meet new cousins. The pictures I've posted are there to honor my family members. PLEASE do not post any of my pictures on another website without asking my permission first—my ancestral home burned and many generations of pictures were lost. The few treasured pictures I've managed to collect since were shared by gracious relatives and friends and indiscriminate posting would disrespect their kindness and generosity. Some family names: Porterfield, Epling/Eppling, Forren/Forehand, Allen, Lafon, Harless, Thomas, Mills, Ballard, Sydenstricker, Agnor/Egnor, Lowe, Hutchison, Dillon, Hardesty, Williams, Bunting, Forrester, White, Sommerville……and more. Most of these lines originated in VA or PA.
