I am a native of Northern Virginia, having lived in Fairfax County and Loudoun County my whole life, until 2017 when I moved to the metro Atlanta area. I became interested in researching my family history after my mom passed in 1995 and my dad in 2004, both from cancer. My current goal at Marietta National Cemetery is to provide photos for as many of the graves without photos as I can. If I have created a memorial for someone close to you, please let me know and I'd be happy to transfer them to you as long as they are no relation to me. Please don't hesitate to ask. Feel free to use any photos of headstones that I have taken for your own use in family trees, etc.; no need to give me credit. I try to add as much information to a memorial as I can find; not just what is inscribed on the headstone. I will use various genealogical sources to research family links, middle name, maiden name, nickname & full dates and places of birth and death. This information can prove to be invaluable to someone who is searching for a loved one. Surnames on my dad's side: CLOBUS/KLOBUS and NOLL from Germany and Pennsylvania, CROUP/CROOP of Allegheny Co. and Butler Co., PA and in FL and on my mom's side: ENTZIAN and MAIER/MAYR of MD and WI and MAYERLEN/MAIERLEN. Other family surnames: MARBURGER, GLOCK, SISTEK, GRUNTZ....all of Allegheny Co. or Butler Co., PA.
