I am something of a family historian if for no other reason than every family needs one. As my parents and their generation are passing away, I feel the need to make a record of the past, so that we don't lose it.

I have been helped tremendously by those who have taken the time to create memorials for Find A Grave, and I would like to pass that on by helping others.

I love working with databases and spreadsheets, so that's a bonus.

One note about my photos and memorials, I will take every effort to exclude the names of any living people, even if it means I digitally alter a photograph.

Feel free to use any of my pictures. That's why I took them!
