I began researching my ancestry in 1976 at the age of 23. I was extremely lucky to still have many living grandparents, great aunts and uncles whom shared so much information, photo's, and stories with me. They have filled my life with the love of searching for more..."Family Ties are Precious Bonds that passing Time endures..." from poem by Elizabeth M. Gerus

PLEASE REQUEST TRANSFERS THE PROPER FG WAY, THROUGH THE EDIT BUTTON ON EACH MEMORIAL. Use the contact manager link. (I just don't have time to be searching, copying id's and memorial numbers trying to make transfers) I DO NOT TRANSFER FROM MESSAGING…USE THE EDIT BUTTON, CONTACT MANAGER LINK!

I am more than happy to process edits, respond to messages and make transfers.

I have a high number of memorials because another member has transferred their memorials to me because they were no longer able to maintain them and has since passed away.

NOTE: You have my permission to use any photo I've taken and posted on FG in your own family research. A note of credit would be appreciated, but not necessary. (only exception please don't copy my photo's & put them on other FG memorials...request and I'll re-post the photo for you) I'm photographing to share and for others to use...

Thank you.
