I have been interested in family history since 1977 and have been researching since that time. I love this website and have been adding memorials for my family. The last 10 years or so I have photograped some local cemeteries. I have met some really nice and helpful people through Find A Grave and even a relative or two. It is my most sincere desire to help someone add new data to their research.

On a personal note, researching my ancestors has helped grow my faith. I have found how many have left their original country, friends and sometimes family because they were not allowed to worship their Lord. What a testimony. I can only pray my faith is as strong as theirs.

I do have one thing for you to consider when asking me to add a transcription..........please include ALL that is written on the stone (not just beloved mother/father or some other short saying). If a disaster (natural or otherwise) happens and that stone is destroyed we will have lost all the original data, important information.
