IF YOU EMAIL ME, please put Find a Grave in the subject with a name or something after it. I get so much email and don't use a separate one for just Find a Grave.

My primary focus is Boone County, Iowa.

I do a lot of research using FamilySearch.org. So if I submit edits or manage a memorial that has a lot of information and family links, that is a good place to check for updated information sources.

Generally, if I manage memorials outside Iowa, it is because I've done one or more generations of research and have linked backwards and laterally by marriages and siblings.

Permissions:
I have posted a lot of photos on Find a Grave. I give permission to use any picture I have taken for Find a Grave, for any other programs, websites or genealogical purposes.

I take time to work on Find a Grave to help people discover and document their roots and honor their family and friends. YOU are your ancestors' legacy. If you are an American, YOU are their "American dream".
