15 years ago when I started this journey, I was not working two jobs. But life moves on and I find I currently am. I ask for patience when sending edits or messages. I will respond. I just might not be as fast as preferred. Also, if you could add a note to any edit suggestions that are not obvious - like information from the obit, family memorials, headstones - that would be fantastic! Thank you in advance.

Genealogy is my passion. It's what brought me to Find-A-Grave and inspires me to help others discover their roots. When I take photos I try to include the family marker (if any), plot boundary markers and additional family members buried at the same site. If the marker has an inscription or symbols, I will include that as well and hopefully the meaning of the symbols in the comments section.

Content for memorials I create and maintain come from multiple sources including family genealogists, personal knowledge, F.A.G. site contributors, cemetery walking, online research, cemetery personnel, transcribed records, and the kind folks who write me with additional information and corrections. Please note content cannot be guaranteed. I encourage you to confirms content with your own sources if you are visiting F.A.G as part of your own research.

I'm sorry to have to add this but it has become necessary:

Please follow the Find-A-Grave rules for transfer when submitting transfer requests. You can find them at:

In addition, please include the memorial number of the person you are contacting me about along with their name.

Thank you to everyone who has been so amazing when writing to me. You have been awesome.
