Young newer Nerd to the Genealogy and Family tree hobby! I've always been super curious about History and particularly my own History where I came from. I started my own family tree research on MyHeritage.com about 4+ years ago and have sprouted the tree in every direction with well over 20000 people in my tree between both my parents sides! I've used Findagrave.com for much of my own distance family genealogy research and thought I'd make my own so I can correct some memorial errors and add some of my own ancestors who have yet to be grave documented or found, particularly on Poland, Slovakia, Germany and England as I know now but that will likely grow more as my tree of endless ancestors grow! I'm particularly interested in my paternal side of my dads family from Poland/Prussia and Czech-(Slovakia) who all emigrated to Pennsylvania in the early 20th century before and during WWI! I'm at many roadblock with my grandfather Dymkowski, Great Grandfather even after collaborating with another distant Dymkowski cousins from Poland! I also am at many more dead-ends with my father's, mother's Slovakian(Micuch & Marhefka) family trees! A distant Micuch relative from Slovakia believes Micuch originated from present day Ukraine so I may have to hunt around Ukraine which is a completey new country of ancestral orgins for me. It's my Great Great Great Grandparents from those countries I'm stuck on! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or corrections for me or would like to collaborate with my own Genealogy/tree or are distant family/cousins to me! Thanks for reading this all if you got to this point! Look forward to hunting our ancestors and lost family members!

Most of my Memorials that are managed and maintained by me are my direct family and relatives connected within my own tree that Ive researched at some point or another but some are not so if you are a closer family member, descendant or relative of them based on FindAGrave transfer guidelines, please list their memorial ID and your connection or a relationship to me and I'd be more than happy to transfer based on FaG guidelines. I'm not a memorial hoarder like some who are very stingy about memorial edits/corrections and at times with even transferring memorials to the descendants who have all the right to manage their family's memorials.

Also as I mentioned above, I am a newer younger genealogist hoping to build a pathway and connect the lines of our family/ancestors for our descendants and are a human and do stand wrong and likely have some errors or missing details on memorials of your family and perhaps my own! If you do happen to see some, please don't hesitate to use the edit button or message me nicely and I will happily correct my mistakes as long as I agree with what you find to be wrong in my records! Some of my direct Polish and Slovakian ancestors graves, burial locations and cemeteries still have yet to be found and located. Unlike FindAGrave guidelines that some gravers are still strick about here, I believe everyone that we know has passed, deserves a memorial on here even if there burial location or death place and time is unknown! It also helps create more bridges between ancestor family trees!

Stolen from another Find a Graver, because I feel the same way: I believe that EVERYONE deserves to be remembered, long after their relatives that were around them in life have passed away and their memory kind of, just gets lost. That is why I love and respect this site, because we can make a record of someone that may have been forgotten, or their burial site was unknown, their ashes lost or their stone is broke, deteriorated or unreadable. Wouldn't YOU want to be remembered? I know I would.

Now if your still reading.....More about me and my direct family!

My Paternal Grandparents memorials..

~Frank Bruno Dymkowski (1922-2011)

~Bernice Mary Micuch (1928-2007)

My Maternal Great Grandparents memorials..

~Russell MacLaren Warnky (1909-1994)

~Dorothy Margaret Smith (1911-1966)

~Helen Dane Kleinklaus (1908-1997)

Also lost my own older/Big brother, Devin Clay Dymkowski (1993-2018) about 6 years ago from battling with Type 1 Diabetes most of his life. My family has gone through hell of many difficult, challenging and depressing moments, not a day goes by ever a day we still think of him and mourn and will never be the same without him here on Earth with us. As Christian believers, we know he's in Heaven/Paradise in a new pure/perfect body free from pain and sickness and every other curse we humans have to live through in our Earthly bodies. As a professional hobbiest Photographer here on Earth, we know he's snapping and capturing many amazing photos of Beautiful Heaven, God, Jesus the Angels and all our loved ones and ancestors. Just wish I would have had more time(many more years) with you Big Bro and could have seen you create an photogenic family and kids of your own. Can't wait to meet you once again in paradise! Love you Big Bro!♡

Genealogy Quotes I found and like~

"There are two lasting bequests we can leave our children. One is roots. The other is wings." ~ Hodding Carter

"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." ~ Harry S Truman

"A Genealogist must have the patience of Job; the curiosity of a cat; the stubbornness of a mule; the eyesight of an eagle; be blessed with the luck of the Irish and have the ability and stamina of a camel to go long hours without food or drink." ~ The Herald, Vol.18, No. 3 & 4; 1995

"What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well." Unknown

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.

DEAR ANCESTOR

Your tombstone stands among the rest;

Neglected and alone.

The name and date are chiseled out

On polished, marbled stone.

It reaches out to all who care

It is too late to mourn.

You did not know that I exist

You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you

In flesh, in blood, in bone.

Our blood contracts and beats a pulse

Entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled

One hundred years ago

Spreads out among the ones you left

Who would have loved you so.

I wonder if you lived and loved,

I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot,

And come to visit you.
