I began simply by looking for information about my family. Who knew I would then feel an obligation to take pictures of graves of people I have never met for people I have never met. But in this world, I truly believe in "paying it forward". I find that my ability to help connect people looking for their ancestors is paid back in kind by those willing to help me find mine.

The surprising part was my desire to make sure everyone is remembered by adding memorials for those who do not have one. If you see a memorial I have created (and they are not connected to me), I will be more than happy to transfer them if you should request.

I also love to "reunite" spouses and parents with children. In some way, in my imagination, it seems like they are together again.

I truly don't take these pictures for myself. So I give permission to use the pictures as needed for others' research. I just ask that a small note be included, giving me credit for my time & energy.
