It has always been my goal to "Bring to Life" those who have been lying in cemeteries for years, even centuries, with "Unknown" statuses. (e.g.: just a picture of a very old gravestone, and no other information). When I can give an "Unknown" person their identity back, I feel my time spent on endless hours of research was all worthwhile. These "Unknown" individuals were once vibrantly alive, with hopes, plans, and dreams, living their lives the best they could, just as we are doing today. I certainly feel they deserve recognition!

Joining family together on memorials is also very important to me. It makes my research worthwhile when I am able to locate family members (who would otherwise have no connection on "Find a Grave" and link them to their parents, siblings, spouses, and children. I want to help others, who have little or no experience doing genealogy, locate their ancestors!

Working together is the key to success on this site! It is sad to have found that some people are unwilling to do that here. I both accept messages and provide my email address, if anyone wishes to ask a question, or offer information. Why wouldn't others wish to do the same? It could bring so many more positive outcomes in helping others.

PLEASE DO NOT ADD PHOTOS OR DOCUMENTS TO THE MEMORIALS THAT I MANAGE! I spend a great deal of time on the accuracy and appearance of my memorials. Please send them to me FIRST, to be considered and/or edited.

PLEASE NOTE: If I create a Memorial that you find to be your ancestor, all you have to do is provide me with a few facts and I will be happy to transfer that memorial over to you. If you have reliable information you simply want to add to a memorial I have created, use the "Suggest Edits" button on the person's memorial page to send them to me. Either way, I will be happy to help.

Most Sincerely,

"A Partner in Time"
