I was born and raised on Washington Island, Wisconsin. From a very young age I became interested in genealogy and finding my "roots". I took to Find A Grave, at the request of my cousin, to not only search for my family but help others locate their loved ones.

If you see information on any of my memorials that needs to be updated, please do not hesitate to reach out. I will be the first to admit that I am not perfect and mistakes happen. I continually try to link obituaries from newspapers to the respective memorial however as I have found some obituaries are only as accurate as the effort given by the person writing the obituary. Inconsistencies in birth years and such are inevitable....sometimes the gravestone has the wrong date or spelling of a name.

If at anytime you see that I am the memorial holder of one of your family member's memorials (and they are not my family) simply send me a request and I will gladly transfer it to you.

All photos that I post on memorials may be utilized however you like, no photo credit is necessary.

Happy researching!
