I am a full fledged genealogy junkie!! I do not need a 12 step program, I own my addiction! LOL

I have researched every line of my family and that of my husband over the past 45+ years. My great grandmother, Alpha May Barrett-Cooper (FaG # 53716755) , got me interested in the family tree when I was just a little girl. She would take me to all the family cemeteries and we would sit on her front porch swing and go through old photos while she told me wonderful stories about those in the pictures. She passed all of the family history down to me when she passed, to include a large portion of her collection of old family photos. Treasures I hold as dear to my heart as the memories we shared together. .

A few of my family names include but are not way limited to... ABBEY, BARRETT, WILLIS, DUNKIN, WELCH, STANLEY, POLLARD, REDMAN, SHARP, LEERIGHT, CHEAIRS, COOPER, BATTLES. My husbands lines includes but not limited to PRESCOTT, O'CONNOR, ALLEN, POOL, SANDEL, NAUL, ASKEW, JOHNSTON, WEAVER . I even have my ex-husbands family that I have researched.. see told ya I was a genealogy junkie! lol!

Per Find A Grave Guidelines:

A memorial should be transferred when the current manager is not related to the deceased, and a relative requests the transfer. Transfers are encouraged for close family relationships, including child, spouse, sibling, parent, grandchild, and other close relatives, including adoptive and step relationships. If the requester is a relative and the manager is not, the memorial must be transferred.

Most of my memorials are family, however, I do have some that are not. If you are related to any of those that I am not, please do request a transfer, for I am not a collector, just keeping them safe until a family member shows up :)
