My wife and I came across Find A Grave while researching family tree information for our daughters, shortly after my wife's father passed. Some branches of our tree are well defined on this site, while others are sparse. We're hoping to fill in some of those sparse branches.

We are currently focused on finding our family members and creating true memorials. It saddens me to see memorials that are nothing more than the information gathered from a gravestone. We truly appreciate all the contributors to FindAGrave, particularly those who have created so many memorials for our loved ones. That commitment of time is truly invaluable.

Knowing that time is so precious and seeing that some people are managing multiple thousands of memorials, we find it difficult to ask someone to make 20+ edits to a memorial that we can do ourselves. I get the impression that is common on Find A Grave. We are seeking to create detailed memorials that give more than just dates and to be responsible for the care of our loved ones' memorials.

Please don't hesitate to ask for transfers. We currently are just focused on our family, and only have a few that are not a direct relation. We want to care for our families' memory and would prefer to see memorials in the care of their family.

Interested in family names, BUMGARNER, CATES, ADAIR, HULL, HATFIELD, GRAGG, MCCULLOUGH, PEED, SMITH, HUTCHINSON, BAUGH, KOZICKI, and WELCH, to name a few... mostly in Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, areas.
