Bio

I've come to the FAG world later than most and find that the cemeteries that I love are pretty much documented. I have "adopted" a few cemeteries and care that their FAG site is represented as fully and accurately as possible.

In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again. To tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Cemetery walking is not a cold gathering of facts; but instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes.

I enjoy documenting graves so that others can find their loved ones. For every memorial I enter, that's a memorial that has a chance of getting into the right hands of family or friends.

I wish you the best of luck in all of your searches!
