Bio
I have been passionate about genealogy for as long as I can remember. My journey began with my grandmother, who would take me to cemeteries to find our relatives. Those childhood experiences sparked a lifelong interest in uncovering family histories and preserving memories.
As a photographer, I volunteer my time to capture the beauty and significance of grave sites. By taking photos of graves, I aim to help others find their loved ones and assist them in their research. My work in this field has allowed me to connect with individuals seeking to piece together the stories of their ancestors.
My Catholic faith is central to my life and guides my work in genealogy. I believe it is essential to remember the dead and pray for the souls of the departed. This practice not only honors their memory but also provides spiritual support for their journey. Through my dedication to genealogy and photography, I strive to honor the past, offer prayers for those who have gone before us, and provide a valuable resource for those on their own journey of discovery.
If you need assistance or have edits for memorials I manage, please don't hesitate to contact me. If you are a family member, I will happily turn over the memorial to your care. You can request the transfer by contacting me directly from the "suggest edits" page and scroll down to the bottom to "contact manager". Please keep in mind that I am a volunteer, and this is something I do in my free time. Thank you for understanding.
THE STORY TELLERS
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.
To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before.
We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one.
