I started out researching my mother's family (McLemore & Barker), and now am looking at my father's family (Haugh & Seemann). Along the way, I did a tree on my stepfather (Kearney).

I am now retired after many years in Quality Management in manufacturing. I live in the Chicago suburbs and got really interested in genealogy after I retired.

I started taking photos of grave markers that caught my interest, either by the style or if they are individuals who served in the military (I feel those individuals should always be remembered).

When I take a photo and find there is no memorial page, I start one and post the photo. I always research the person so that I am not just putting the dates and names shown on the headstone. When I am certain that I have found a husband and wife and/or children, I link them on their memorials. I am willing to transfer those memorials per the Find A Grave rules.
I do NOT post the names of living persons on any memorial.

I love cemeteries with beautiful old tombstones and statues or just interesting markers.

The only truly dead are those who have been forgotten. (Jewish Proverb)
