Transfers: Happy to transfer outside strict guidelines if the person is closer to you than to me, or is your special interest. Tell me about your interest - Kind people have let me care for my cousins and relatives, I'm happy to return the favour.

Photos: Every photo I have posted, whether of Gravestone, Person, Family, Document or Item, I have posted freely for use by those researching their family history. I do this in honour of my ancestors and family. No need to ask for my permission.

Story: Family researching since 1980 based on the family stories of Grandma Clara, who knew and kept track of hundreds of cousins, and the trees made by my Mom, so we have been researching in different ways for over 100 years.

On FindaGrave, I don't manage thousands of memorials; instead I focus on researching to complete family links (my families and others completely unrelated to me) to help people find and honour their ancestors and cousins.

I've been posting the family photo collection so everyone can freely see and use them before they are lost to time.

Main surname interests are Aitkens, Mackell, Birnie, Baber (London UK); Coulter, Kitto, Real, Johns (from England & Cornwall to Ontario); Preston and Lindsay (from Northern Ireland to Ontario); and Thomas (USA, CON, NY to Ontario, Canada, and Thomas and Randall connections in Mid-western US states. Some new additions of interest, the Nonconformist families of Jillard (Gillard), Peard, Bishop, and Shapland of Bristol area, and Devon and Somerset.

Are you a cousin? I'd love to hear from you. We may have stories, photos, papers, Bible pages to share. My DNA is posted on Ancestry and FTDNA.

I'm not notified when you add a person photo to a memorial, but I'd love to know, so please Message me.

Thank you and

- stay safe, be kind, be calm, be generous.

We are all Cousins
