I've been tagging along with my mom as she's done family history research since I was a toddler. I inherited a love for genealogy and family history from her at a very young age.

I am a researcher by trade, and enjoy applying those skills to our family history as well. I have begun researching my Ades, Belford, Robison, Kirkland, Charter, Gray, Stephens, and Gannon sides and have started to ask to manage some of those memorials so I can connect my ancestors with their family members. I work on this project with my mom quite a bit and the surnames she searches include Howard, Parker, Wilson, Rogers, Delp, Cartmell, Rouse, Williamson, Boster, and Lawson. My husband's side includes Talkington, Burton and Swift among others.

I greatly appreciate all the time and hard work that has been put into Find A Grave from all the members who have spent so much of there lives to making this resource what it is today. My goal is to continue the work of others and to preserve the memorials of our families history.

I do ask these few things for the memorials that I manage. Please do not post pictures of new graves on their memorials. If your going to go out and take a picture of the stones clean them up first. Do not put picture of temporary markers. I have full intention of taking photos for the memorials I recently took on or have added . If it is not a grave that I cannot physically get to, I will put in a request for a photo. Please allow me a chance to add photos for those that I can.
