I discovered FindAGrave in early 2007, and received such wonderful assistance from its volunteers that I decided to become one myself. I'm very thankful for the generous genealogy community and for the help I've received from so many FindAGrave members through the years.

I've been researching the various branches of our family for more than 20 years; it's been an exciting and often challenging "treasure hunt" to trace our family history. It's wonderful that I've been able to share my discoveries with family members and gratifying to help other descendants of my shared ancestors through this site.

You may use any photographs that I've taken and posted to FindAGrave memorials, but please credit them to "Kathy I., FindAGrave ID #46907540" or to the photographer credited in the photo notes (since I sometimes post the photos of other relatives, with permission).

I'll gladly transfer management of a memorial to anyone who falls within FindAGrave's 4-generation guidelines: spouses, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, grandparents, and/or great-grandparents (assuming that I'm not also a descendant of that person).

Please feel free to suggest corrections/additions to any memorials that I've created or that I manage. Everyone's research benefits from complete and accurate information on this site.

Enjoy your adventure!
