Bio
I will gladly transfer management of any of my memorials to anyone related, providing they're not in my own family tree. Just ask! :) If you are requesting a transfer, please specify why you want to take over management, and please use the Contact Manager feature on the Edit Suggestions page for the memorial in question to make the request.
My name on FG stems from how I refer to my hobby of photographing headstones when people ask where I'm going..."I'm haunting cemeteries".
I'm an advocate for photographing entire cemeteries over wandering looking for a specific grave to fill a request. Saves time overall, plus helps people find memorials for family when they might not have known their final resting place at all in order to request a photo or create a memorial. I tend to mass-photograph cemeteries in the summer, then spend the winter uploading and transcribing the photos, when the Canadian winter makes it hard to haunt cemeteries.
I am able to assist with translating/transcribing stones in the following languages: English, French, German, Russian, Ukrainian (and other Cyrillic languages). I'm also game to attempt to translate others.
Please note when suggesting edits to memorial I manage: I will modify any suggestion that is a copied obituary if it lists family members that are likely still living, to redact names. Why? Because I respect the privacy of surviving relations, and this is also what FG asks we do.
Special THANK YOU to user Gregory Kimm for helping me out with Chinese translations on my headstone photos!
