Hi! I'm Rian Essman, and I love researching family history for my own family and my husband Jeff's. We also enjoy helping others on Find a Grave locate ancestors and loved ones. I know how meaningful it is to find that long-lost photo of a headstone, and I contribute photos and help maintain memorials whenever I can.

My family surnames:

Milligan, Powell, Love, Stuckey, Stutz, Hollingsworth, Applegate, Buzzard, Stewart, Jenkins,

Springer, Tolle, DeBons, Landon, McNamara, Newcomb, Anderson, Vice, McNerney, Reynard, Chalfant,

Harris, Griffith (Griffie), Paul, Gayhart, Combs,

Parker, Halcomb, Huff, Musselwhite

Jeff's family surnames:

Essman, Rhode, Holtzel, Helsel, Bahls,

Coppus, Woessner, Dewald,

Reeves, Brundage, Foley, Clemens,

Heiserman, Rausher, Stahl, Copsey, Saum, Rinebold

We love connecting with fellow researchers, sharing information, and helping preserve the stories of those who came before us.
