My name is Kathy Tillinghast and I live in Clermont, Florida, west of Orlando. I have also lived in Rhode Island, South Florida, Colorado and Las Vegas. Since I am so far away from Rhode Island, where the family originated, FindAGrave has been invaluable to me in locating a few "missing" relatives and their locations.

Just recently got started on this project and am impressed at how everyone on this site has responded to my questions and requests. I will ALWAYS give credit to the owner if I ask to use a photo or information from FindAGrave to include on my Ancestry.com site.

Am also researching the names Swenson, Koehler and O'Brien in Rhode Island and surrounding areas.
