Bio

For people who are NOT aware, researching, creating and photographing these memorials for the deceased, is a slow and exhausting process but, it is worthwhile. I have created over 2,900 + memorials and the main reason is, I would like to think that someone, somewhere in this world, " might" be looking for that lost relative and I helped them to find that person. That said, I DO check census records after creating these memorials and try connecting folks that way. Many times it is like a puzzle. Sometimes I solve it , sometimes I do not. *** If I find nothing on a particular person, my memorial will say, "NO OTHER INFO." The reason I have done this is so I

know that I did research that individual and found nothing. ANY EDITS I receive, I do go back and look up the person thru census records again and, research places online and I also check dates ( very important) ****I WILL NOT APPROVE any edit where is NO proof of relationship and the reason is, I will not have this information out there for all to see and it might not be correct and " guessing" is not good enough. I do not trust speculation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

If any of you would like a memorial transferred, let me know. I prefer that the transfer would be to a relative /ancestor but, I am not very strict about this.

***FEEL FREE TO USE MY PHOTOS ***
