I've been doing genealogical research for almost 25 years now and love it just as much as the day I started. I love to help others in their research and in connecting to their past. One way I do this is by visiting antique stores and purchasing identified photos and ephemera to reunite with descendants who may not even know they existed! Many of the photos I've contributed to Find A Grave are purchases I've made on these excursions. If you see I've uploaded a photo for one of your ancestors, don't hesitate to ask if it's still available. I send everything FREE of charge and only ask that you pay it forward.

I also run a genealogy blog on which I post these items and other articles of genealogical interest.

I am happy to transfer ownership on all memorials for individuals unrelated to me. Just ask.

My own ancestors span most of the 50 United States and before that they came from France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Wales and maybe places I haven't discovered yet. I am currently hard at work on piecing together my paternal line which includes the Talbert, Bowling, Neely, Friese, Moore, Beck and Graham surnames in Missouri, Tennessee, Iowa, and Indiana.
