My name is Sharon.

My main reason for getting involved in genealogy was to prove or disprove a family story about my paternal great grandfather. Now, after years of searching, I am wondering who that person was. But on a brighter note, I have found a lot of people that I had no idea they could possibly be related several generations down the road. Which brings me to Find A Grave (FaG).

Find A Grave is a wonderful site to find where those who came before you, can now be found.

A very special Thank You goes out to those who have no qualms about transferring management of memorials to family members, some have gone so far as to transfer memorials to me because I suggested a parent, date of birth or spouse, but I had no intention of asking for a transfer, these people just transferred. However, I have asked for a few transfers because the caretaker did say to let them know if they had other of my family members. Thank you to those.

Thank you to all who have contributed to FaG whether it be 1 memorial or thousands, thank you, thank you, thank you.
