"We are all fellow passengers to the grave". As Charles Dicken's wrote in a Christmas Carol. The majority of my memorials are of my family and either closely related, or as one cousin calls them "shirt tail cousins". Some are family friends and others though not related were found on the way in my family research and I became familiar with their family history and did not want them to be forgotten. I hold my family dear and close to me.. I strive for accuracy to the Best of My Ability in the biographies of the memorials I hold. I use multiple resources for researching a person's history and story. . Permission given to use these photos on your genealogy research and on Ancestry. Com.

To All my Find A Grave friends,

Some who I am related to when you get into the Northumberland, Columbia and Schuylkill Co area families and to other Find A Grave contributors. I had a mild stroke in August and thankfully all my pistons are still firing, but it made me think of what will happen to the memorials I have contributed to when I have a more debilitating stroke. I do have two contributors who will manage my close family memorials. But if there are any memorials you would like to manage, that you are either related in some manor or persons you are interested in please contact me and I will transfer them to you.
