We are actively seeking to build up our families' memorials with good photos, obituaries, and accurate biographies, honoring our loved ones.

We also have created or adopted a number of memorials for near relatives or close friends who had no known relatives able to participate directly with Find-A-Grave or other computer or internet-based sites, or they had no known family at all. The kindness and generosity of many Find-A-Grave members---with generous personal transfer policies---has made this possible.

Our thanks goes to those members who have transferred memorials to us, memorials which they created or manage, but do not have an idea to tightly keep or control memorials of people they have no relational or personal friendship connection with. These are transfers outside of Find-A-Grave guidelines, which are always an option and are at the discretion of the individual manager. Many managers who have thousands and thousands of memorials have been kind enough to let one or two go to us. We will do the same for interested relatives of our departed friends, or closer relatives to our relatives, whose memorials we created or now manage. We wish to be as generous as possible with memorials.

If you have sent edits or suggestions or requests for transfer, and you have not heard from us within a few days, contact us by email and/or by the message board. We are not very active outside our limited interests, but you can see the focus of our few additional historical studies in our growing list of "Virtual Cemeteries".
