Hello;

I am glad to transfer your family/ancestors to you.

I am also honoured to caretake/manage people who have died in the line of duty (LODD) or Killed in Action (KIA) so they are never forgotten. I knew many of them, or I have gotten to know their stories.

- I research and preserve history back through the 1800s for the Phoenix (AZ) Fire Department/ IAFF Local 493 as well as Arizona Fire Service and EMS Line of duty deaths. I work with Special Ops, Honor Guard (yup I'm still on the job), and am the PFD Historian- I add and caretake Findagraves (FGs) for Phoenix Fire- related families (https://www.facebook.com/PhoenixFireHistoricStation8/).

- I research and preserve history of deaths in international Mountain & General Search & Rescue, Fire Service, LEOs, and, unrelated others that I encounter in my searches.

I research my paternal Kovács family from and around Abaujszánto, Hungary (Magyarország) and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and the U.S. as well as my maternal Kovácsik family from Czechoslovakia and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and the U.S.
