Genealogy to me isn't just researching and gathering cold facts but breathing life into those who have gone before us. It is about keeping their memory alive. I have deep pride, respect, and appreciation for my ancestors and others who have fought, sacrificed, worked, and survived to keep us a Nation. If you have a picture of a family member of mine please be sure to share it with me.

Thank you to all the volunteers for your hard work taking photos of headstones and making memorials. I appreciate those who transfer the memorials to the rightful families.

It makes no sense for people to make thousands of memorials and then simply refuse to transfer them to the descendants' family because it doesn't adhere to the guidelines. What makes it even more confusing is when the contributor isn't even related to the family and still refuses to transfer the memorial to the rightful family. I am happy to do transfers even if it falls outside of the guidelines. I am not interested in having memorials of people I am not in some way related to, or do not know. I only want to manage family, which includes extensions of my family.
