I have lived most of my life around the Appleton City Mo area and am currently living about 8 miles west of A.C.. I have three children (all teens, ugg) and married my high school sweetheart. I got started in family history while in high school but didn't get very far with it. I have recently picked up my family history again through Ancestry.com and that's how I found out about Find A Grave. At first glance thought Find A Grave might be a gimmick but soon realized that there is a lot of neat things about it. Shortly there after I signed up as volunteer photographer. While I claim no real photography skills, I use my iphone and computer and upload the photo's.

I have a few pages that I have made a copy of from Find A Grave of some family members, and use this to illustrate to people that don't know or don't understand about Find A Grave or what I am up to. Almost all have commented that that is neat and didn't realize that this information is available online.

My main territory for cemetery photo's is eastern Bates county, northwestern St. Clair county and southwestern Henry county MO. Feel free to use my photo's (no commercial use please).

So looking forward to the day I slip out of this world and catch up with my eternal family. God bless, and happy family hunting!
