I've been working on my family history on and off for many years, but have been seriously addicted for over 15 years. I am so appreciative of those who volunteer their time and efforts and are so willing to share it.

I believe sharing helps to make this work move forward, but please be thorough in your research and don't just cut-and-paste. I'm amazed at how many mistakes are made because people aren't willing to read and verify.

If I've posted a photo you want to use in your family tree, including online, you have my permission but would greatly appreciate it if you would link it to the original. Not necessarily to give me credit, but I believe it helps to validate the source where information comes from. EXAMPLE: © FindAGrave member #47929631; FindAGrave Memorial # (from the memorial).

"Done! Everyone in the family tree has been found and everything is perfectly organized including the photos," said no genealogist...EVER."
