It was my interest in preserving my own family history that brought me here, particularly the photographs and stories to pass along to future generations. Genealogy helped me unlock the identities of those in the photographs, many of whom are long gone, as well as those who could once identify them. Finally, I've always loved cemeteries. Each headstone represents a life and stories and people who loved them. They are more than just names, dates and locations. What a wonderful thing it is that we can contribute to telling their stories here.

Thank yous:

Thank you to everyone who's transferred a family member to me. Transfers are a gift, but also a responsibility. I promise to do my best to be a good steward.

Thank you to Find A Grave for making it so much easier to contribute to memorials without being the person to maintain them. You've also made it easier for stewards to maintain those memorials.

Those that transcribe massive numbers of folks for us, whatever the source are the angels of this site. Please keep it up. I have folks I need to find and I can't find them without you. So thank you for all you do!

A little more:

I'm not offended when you:

Deny me a transfer outside of guidelines.
Ask me more about how I'm related
Ask me if I have a source for this or that
Give me suggestions, tips or point out an error
