Find A Grave has been a very helpful tool in researching my Family Tree. I try to pass that along by creating memorials and adding information that might be helpful to others on their search for their family.

If I manage a memorial of one of your relatives, I'd be very happy to transfer (unless they are also my relatives!)....... please just ask.

Also, please inform me if I need to make corrections or if you have information you would like to see added to a memorial. I want them to contain correct information.

Thank you so much for transferring memorials of my family to me!! It is much appreciated.

Dear Ancestor

Your tombstone stands among the rest, Neglected and alone

The name and date are chiseled out, On polished marble stone

It reaches out to all who care, It is too late to mourn

You did not know that I exist, You died and I was born

Yet each of us are cells of you, In flesh and blood and bone

Our blood contracts and beats a pulse, Entirely not our own

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled, One Hundred years ago

Spreads out among the ones you left, Who would have loved you so

I wonder how you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot, And come to visit you.
