I have been visiting cemeteries since I was a young child and have had a major interest in my own families ancestry since I was 15 years old. I found this site by accident in June 2006 and am now trying to get my family branches filled in a bit better.

I live in the State of New Hampshire and miss my Husband , my Son, and my Father all dearly.

I have been asked many times why I volunteer on FindAGrave, the best answer is - All should be remembered.

"To gather up the records of the past and present, and faithfully transmit them to the future, is a duty which one generation owes to another." - The Rev Ira C Tyson, Bedford, NH 1885

For transfers: use the EDIT tab on memorial, then "Suggest other correction", ask for a transfer (your relationship would be nice). If not my family or special to me, I'm happy to transfer.

I appreciate additional information or corrections on the memorials that I manage. I try to verify that it is correct before I honor a request. I may ask for sources if I cannot verify, if so, please don't be offended. My goal is to be as accurate as possible.

I have no known family buried in Clark County, Nevada.

Dear Ancestor,

Your tombstone stands among the rest

Neglected and alone

The name and date are chiseled out

On polished marble stone

It reaches out to all who care

It is too late to mourn

You did not know that I exist

You died and I was born

Yet each of us are cells of you

In flesh and blood and bone

Our blood contracts and beats a pulse

Entirely not our own

Dear Ancestor,

The place you filled

One hundred years ago

Spreads out among the ones you left

Who would have loved you so

I wonder how you lived and loved

I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot

And come to visit you."

-Walter Butler Palmer

Happy Ancestor Hunting everyone.
