I was born as a Beitz for which am related to the Hetcher and Lovall Families from my Dad's side. My Mum's side of the family are the Schnieder & Stull Families. I then was adopted in 1972 under the name Lightner. The Lightners are related to the Powers, & Rothruff families. The Beitz family originated from Germany & then McKeesport, Pa & the Lightner family originated from Braddock, Pa.

My oldest sister (Sherry Lynn Prather-Beitz) has been working on our family (The Beitz) tree for well over 30 yrs. I got involved approx 2 yrs ago to give her a hand.

I enjoy the peaceful time in walking thru a cemetery looking at the many different headstones. I got involved with Find a grave because of my Mum & her husband whom are buried in the Riceville Cemetery Riceville (Crawford County) Pa.
