I have been working on family trees for over 20 years. History is my passion. Each ancestor has an interesting story to tell us if we take the time to uncover it. Find a Grave has helped me to discover much information about my ancestors.

My current family tree research includes Schliesmann, Mandernach, Kubart, Gianforte, Scurto, Schnetter, Zazeske/Zakrzewski, Janzer, Getter, and Loest. If you connect up through one of these surnames, send me an email to say hi and compare notes to see if we're related somewhere down the line.

I am interested in helping others learn about their ancestors too. I'm working on the enormous task of photographing and documenting the Catholic cemeteries in Racine, WI in Find a Grave. This includes "New" Holy Cross - Hwy 32 (Caledonia), "Old" Holy Cross - Kinzie Ave, Calvary (also on Kinzie Ave), and Holy Family. If I can take a photograph, answer a question, or tackle a mystery for you in any of these cemeteries, please let me know. It's always helpful if you call the cemetery office (same for all four cemeteries) and get a plot number.

You may use any photos that I have posted on Find A Grave for personal use as long as you give me credit for the photo. The photos I post are optimized for viewing on a computer. In most cases, I have high resolution files for printing purposes. You can contact me if you need a higher quality photo. I am not opposed to the use of my photos on Ancestry.com as long as I am credited for the photo in its description.

**In loving memory of my dog, Marvin, who is in my profile picture. He passed away April 15, 2015.
