I grew up going to genealogy conventions with my Grandma Betty. I can not even tell you how many hours we would sit in libraries and other research locations. We would visit graves every summer. Travel from state to state. She is the reason that history is so important to me.

I am currently combing over all my records in my family trees. I will be double checking for errors and trying to update any FG pages as I go.

If any of you see corrections that need to be made, please use the "EDIT" tab at the top of the pages. I would also appreciate documentation on corrected names, dates of marriages, places of birth and death, etc. I will be happy to correct the memorials, so please just let me know of any errors you might find.

Dear Ancestor
"Your tombstone stands among the rest neglected and alone. The name and date are chiseled out. On polished marble 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 and blood and 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 how you lived and loved. I wonder if you knew. That someday I would find this spot and come to visit you."
