My great grandmother, Oma Mae Barclay (Martin), stated it was the grandmother's responsibility to teach the oldest grandchild their family history, thus my journey began. The rest, I can blame on my Mother and a little genealogy bug whose bite resulted in OCD! :-) I live in Oklahoma, my memorials belong to my family, friends and some orphan memorials, found along the way. If you are related to my orphan's and want it transferred to you, please let me know. Feel free to contact me, if you think we might be related, have additional information, corrections or just want to say hello.
My cousin, Beth Collins Presley, found a great product, D/2 Biological Solution. Neither of us get a commission but know there are others who have tried everything on headstones to get them clean including scrubbing but nothing worked. The first time I used D/2, I sprayed it on and the mold just ran off the headstone with no scrubbing. I was amazed at how great it worked, cleaning and restoring the headstone to like new and easier to read. In some cases, it might take longer to completely clean the headstone but it removes algae, lichen, moss, mold and mildew, which turn headstones dark and will eventually decay them. D/2 Solution is used by the National Cemeteries as a preservative and cleaner on national monuments and headstones.
My objective on FAG is to preserve family history, to connect families together and help find the most correct information possible.
Thank you to everyone involved with FAG.
