Bio and Links
Bio Photo I signed up to take photo requests in Whiteside County, ILLINOIS but caught the bug to dig further into my own family. Having a great time doing it which means I am coming back to Winnebago County frequently to revisit my childhood and capture my roots. Check out my virtual cemeteries and if you have any info, shoot me a line. Happy Linking!

I'm also a cemetery walker. The majority of my memorials are a result of walking the cemetery, and taking photos. More recently I have been adding obituaries and/or government documents to support the memorial, AND of course, the cemetery sexton is a valuable resource. Should you have any questions or find errors, please bring them to my attention so I can correct them. In requesting a transfer, just indicate the relationship. I do transfer!

Remembering F.A.G. colleague, Ellen Kennedy. I did not know Ellen personally but have seen her presence on many memorials in our local area. May God hold her and her family in the palm of his hand.

I just learned that my cousin passed away on January 3, 2013 at the age of 61. We had just found each other a year ago when I messaged him one late night after repeatedly seeing STEAMERFAN on all of my relatives memorials. Well, I learned that we share the same great-great-grandparents. I am so sorry I was not ever able to meet him in person but so glad we did meet up through F.A.G. Since being a member, he added 16,951 memorials. Thank you Gary for all of your contributions here!!!! We will all miss you ~ I will miss you! ღ

Doing this for over a year, I have learned a lot, lessons from both the good (that is you Carrie) and "not so good" (to remain nameless) F.A.G. contributors, and I thank you all! I especially want to take this opportunity to thank several who have helped show me the ropes in the beginning. First is Loren Carlson, who is not only from my home town, but has created many of the memorials for my relatives and has graciously transferred them to me when requested, starting with my brother's memorial. Thank you Loren for answering all of my questions. Second is Steamerfan. I remember being up late in the night corresponding with him when I discovered we shared the same great-great-grandparents. He has also been a great resource (and pointed me the right direction) for family history on my dad's side. Thank you Gary Boomgaarden with two AA's. And thank you D. Frederick Birely for teaching me to make my memorials more in depth than just slapping up names and dates. I have learned from you, and continue to learn. Thank you Dale!

Happy SPRING 2013!
