**Please, don't create memorials with "burial place unknown" just to have a more complete family line. That defeats the whole purpose of this site. I know it's tempting to just fill in the blanks yourself for a prettier looking family line, but please resist the urge. Take the time to research, and we all need to accept (including me) that some records and burial places are lost to time, and it's a sad but true fact. I will not link to these memorials**

I would love to connect with distant relatives to share any information! I am on Ancestry.com.

I started researching my family history in the summer of 2019. Genealogy is my favorite hobby and I don't go a day without thinking about it. I find this website super helpful in finding long lost ancestors as well as for connecting with distant relatives today.

If you are interested in volunteering your time and information for a good genealogy cause, visit genealogytrails.com. It is a website that has sub-sites by states and states' counties. Many are in need of a host. The purpose of the site is to transcribe genealogy info and post it on the sites for free, and it's lifeline is volunteers to add information. I know I have gained valuable information I had not found anywhere else in my family by searching the site. You can email in your transcribed records and info.
