Located in Bloomington, (Hennepin County) Minnesota.

I have always been interested in genealogy, although my mother has done most of the work. The main four branches of my family tree are:

KOECHLEIN (Ward, Allen), NORTON (Van Deusen, Vosburgh, Titus, Phelps), MORTON (Wright), KELLEY (Webster, Corey).

I do search for specific photo requests but I have also tried to photograph and enter entire cemeteries in my area. When I do a whole cemetery, I don't necessarily take time to clear off grass or dirt covering part of the engraving on markers flush with the ground. If you want me to try to clear off the surface and take another photo, please let me know.

I enjoy the challenge of trying to figure out family connections as I am loading cemetery records. I try to look at proximity of the markers, dates, and internet research to determine family connections. If I have made a mistake, please just let me know and I will correct or delete it. If I have included information on a biography that you do not wish to have posted, please let me know and I will remove it.

I hope that the memorials and pictures I have added will be of assistance for people tracking their family history. I welcome corrections/edits through the system. It means that someone is interested in a memorial I took time to enter! I also try to be very flexible about transferring memorials that do not have any direct connection to my family.
