I have been doing genealogy since 2015 and started Find a Grave in 2020. I manage my family on this account. My research has taken me to many cemeteries and trips to other states to do boots on the ground research. I love history and learning about peoples' stories, especially those I'm related to. I do this in my free time when not working.

In my research I have come across pictures of people that I am not related to, and have been able to add these pictures to other Find a Grave Memorials (managed by others). For those that have been cremated and there is no headstone, I created a virtual headstone.

I like to take pictures that are clear, straight and contain surrounding areas. I also take pictures from every direction of the headstone so that landmarks (trees, bushes, benches) are in the pictures to help visitors find the grave. If you add pictures, please make sure they are straight, not blurry and good quality.

I'm thankful for the tips and help I've received from my fellow Find-a-Gravers. Thank you!
