Bio
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.
