I am a U.S. Army Veteran and the mother of two daughters and five grandchildren. I have spent a lot of time traveling and moving around, being that my husband is also an army veteran. Now I have more time to spend on my writing and researching.

I have been researching my family since 1975.

As a Find-A-Grave contributor, I want to make sure that the family data is entered correctly and that a bio, when possible, is available for the family on the memorials that I am creating and managing. As of now I am working on connecting family members to memorials. I am interested in the Baxendale and affiliated families and the Hinkels/Hinkels and affiliated families, which include many branches and surnames.

I am not a member of Find-A-Grave in order to compete with others to see how many memorials that I can create or manage. I am a part of Find-A-Grave to connect my family with the branches of the rest of the clan. If any of my information is entered incorrectly, please let me know. If or when I am wrong, I will change it to show what is accurate. If you have any information that you want added or removed from a memorial, please contact me and state your reasons. I try to use good judgment when including bios on the memorials. If you are directly related to a person whose memorial I am maintaining, I will transfer it to you, unless I am directly related.
