I have always loved history and find that there's nothing better in the world than finding and being able to add a person's photograph or update information to a memorial that might of been missing those things. All of these people have lived, loved, raised families and lived through times that many of us can hardly imagine and deserved to be remembered.

Many of the things that we add to these Memorials are treasured by family members, friends and descendants to remember or learn more about those who have passed on.

We are the chosen. In each family, there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts, but instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe.
