My name is Melody and I have been researching my family History for years now. I am researching the Bills, Soard, Houston, Denman, Fryman, Wagoner, Navarre, Kidwell family lines- plus many more!

I have lived my entire life in Harrison County, Ky. I am the mother of four wonderful children. I have my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and am currently writing several novels! I am working as a substitute teacher. I am using my free time to research more of my family history and to share what I know with other researchers.

If you have a question or a correction, please email me. I love hearing from others and helping out where I can. I have no problem transferring memorials to others who are direct bloodline descendants when I am not. However I want to keep my direct bloodline ancestor's in addition to people I may have known, friends, and family. However, I will always defer to FAG's rules regarding transfers. Findagrave is not a numbers game with me. It is a tool. I take pride in the information I post and do my best to make sure things are correct. I wish others took as much pride in their memorials and did not worry so much with the number they are posting and how many they are managing. Findagrave is about helping others, and sharing information...not how many graves you can control.

Feel free to use any of my photos for your family history, however if you publish them in a book, please inform me and give me credit so that I can have bragging rights! :)

Thanks and Happy History Hunting!!

Dear Ancestor

Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and the date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.

It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.

I wonder if you lived and loved.
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot.
And come to visit you.
