I first discovered find a grave.com while I was researching some ancestors in Ohio. It just so happened that the folks I was looking for, I found with the help of find a grave. I wasn't sure why some names were entered and some were not. So I did some investigating on this web site and decided to become a member in hopes to help someone else out there doing genealogy or just interested in finding their ancestors as well.

Most of the names that I have entered, are my own relatives however, there are a few that are not. Those that are not my relatives, are relatives of a friend or someone who I knew was researching them. In the future I would also like to add others in the hopes that it will help someone else out there that are trying to find their ansestors.

If by chance they are your close relatives I will be happy to transfer them to you or fix any mistakes or add links.

I have five children, two are my step children who I adore and wish I could call my own. These two are now grown and giving me and my husband grandchildren. I have two teenagers that, keep us running. I also have a baby who we lost 8 years ago. Since that time I have spent many hours in the cemetery. I Have gained a new respect for those who have also lost loved ones as well.

I find this web site so, wonderful as a way to preserve the memories of our ancestors. Headstones get weathered and some are even getting vandalized. I hope that by taking photos and creating memorial for our loved ones that this may be a way to preserve and remember them. I hope that if I have added your loved ones that, you will understand that I do it with great reverence and respect for each and every one of them. This has also been a wonderful time for me to spend with my mother as we search these out together.
