I've been researching my family history since 1998 and have been part of the Find a Grave community for over 20 years. I deeply value the connections this site has helped me build — both with ancestors and with fellow researchers. My focus includes families from Tennessee and the Appalachian region, and I'm currently working on memorials at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, Alameda County, California. I'm happy to transfer memorials to relatives and descendants who can carry their stories forward.
