I've been a genealogist for nearly twenty years, focused on researching and preserving my family's and extended family's histories. This includes being an active member of Find-A-Grave. While I maintain several memorials, for me, it's not about quantity; it's about the accuracy and relationships of people who have gone before me.

Because of this, I'm dedicated to ensuring that my family memorials are correct, and where possible, include a bio, personal photo, grave photo, and obituary (always a work in progress). Whether it's a memorial I manage or not, I'm happy to have contributed to the content and linked relationships to countless memorials involving the following family lines that first settled in Michigan in the 1800s.

Bellmore (Alpena MI from Canada)

Campbell (Bay City MI from Canada)

Crippen (Bay City MI from New York)

Germain (Alpena MI from Canada)

Gramzow (Saginaw MI from Germany)

Grossmann (Saginaw MI from Germany)

Hanna (Alpena MI from Canada & Ireland)

Maxson (Bay City MI from New York & Rhode Island)

Orr (Bay City MI from Canada & Ireland)

Panzenhagen (Marion Springs MI from Germany)

Rundel (Bay City MI from New York)

Wood (Bay City MI from Canada)

Please feel free to contact me with questions or suggestions about the memorials I manage or the research I've completed.
