I am a tenacious researcher. I am very active on Ancestry.com and look forward to helping you find the information you need.

I am interested in the following lineages:
From my paternal line - Lake, Snyder, Workman, LeMasters, St. Claire, Kittle, Kirkpatrick, Gilbert, and Findley

From my maternal line - Perry, Stephenson, Medlin, Beasley, Ryals, Woods, Martin and Carroll.

Also, currently researching:
Cristofaro, McAllister, Gist, Adkins, Maxey, Moore, Ramirez , Bell and Holley.

Please feel free to contact me.

Unlike some volunteers, I do not find the hoarding of memorials to be an honorable practice. There are no awards or accolades given for managing literally thousands of memorials, nor do I dilly dally around in replying to edit requests or transfers, and your correspondence to me will not sit in my box being ignored.

I do not subscribe to numerous online newspapers with the sole purpose of snagging up obits to memorialize on this site. I do not create memorials for people based solely on information anyone can glean from a Census record, birth certificate, or death certificate. I certainly would never post such records to a memorial. Memorials are intended to remember the life and honor the memory of the deceased. The people we memorialize are not records - they are loved by their family members. Memorials are not articles of public record - Find A Grave is not a data library. It is a place to remember those we have loved and remember.
