As I began my second half century, I found a desire to ensure my family tree was accurately documented and as complete as possible. I see Find A Grave as an excellent tool for that purpose and see the volunteer community that supports it as faithful.

I was born, raised, lived, and have reared my family in the midlands of SC. It was my grandfather's home, my father's home and it is my home.

As a Find-A-Grave fan, this is my contribution ... in a small way ... to remember and honor those in our family who were here before us, and hopefully, help those who follow us.

My primary focus is on the family names of Haynes, Wood, Harris, Ligon, Bauer, Kanwischer, Shanafelt, and Haus.

To Err Is Human, To Correct Divine. If you come across any errors or have additions to the memorials I have created, please let me know. I strive to provide accurate information and will be happy to make any changes necessary.

Lastly, a thought on genealogy . . .

The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future. . . Herbert Spencer
