My name is Kim, I'm an archivist and a librarian (cataloger), and member of my local Historical Commission.

My family names include Bauer, Barlow, Cluever, Oertel, Last, Shinners, and Williams.

I photograph cemeteries, "mowing the rows," in suburban Chicago, Illinois, primarily the large cemeteries in Forest Park, Elmhurst and Hillside, plus others in Cook and DuPage County, Illinois.

I add memorials from photos I have taken, not from records or obituaries. I only manage memorials in local cemeteries, aside from family.

Memorials on this site are primary sources, not genealogical aggregations. Use Ancestry or Family Search for that, and source using genealogical proof, etc.

I am not including census household lists as Biographies. Also not linking to Burial Unknown to build trees.
