As a child, many Sunday afternoons were spent with my parents visiting the graves of my grandparents and great-grandparents. I'm grateful that my parents instilled in me the importance of the remembrance of family and the lives that they led.

Currently, I am a retired teacher and I enjoy working on this site to provide remembrances and memorials for not only my family but, for others as well. While connecting or establishing memorials, I like to start out by first reuniting a mother to her child(ren). I search obituaries, census reports, birth and marriage records, military records, and various genealogical sites for accurate information. However, in so doing, errors may still occur.

"We are the chosen. In each family, there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts, but instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe." ~Author Unknown

It's a fascinating thought that we're all here as the result of the love stories of thousands. One day, we will be the ancestors. Let's be good ones.
