I am a Navy brat and began my genealogy searches when my Mom passed away in 2008. I think it's awesome that everyone helps each other out on-line. My mother's family is from New York via Germany, Enland, Scotland and Ireland; my Father's side is from southern Georgia via North Carolina, Germany and England. Families researching: WEST, DAVIS, FIRMAN, BRINKMANN, BROMM, SCHMIDT, GRINER, MACK, COFFEY.

It's very gratifying being a photo volunteer. You are welcome to use any of my photos for use in your own personal family research. All I ask is that you give me credit for the family photos and no commercial use of any of my photos; headstone, grave markers or family photos.

If any of my memorials are your family and I am not related to that person, I will be happy to transfer them to you. I actually wish you would ask me. I have taken many photos that are not my family when I lived in Oregon and none of them are my family. I was trying to preserve the places because some of them are smaller, older cemeteries and I wanted to be able to share them for their families. So please ask.
