Bio and Links
Bio Photo After retiring from the USPS in 1991, I got involved in genealogy to learn about the history of my family. I was a member of the FVGS in Naperville, IL for over 5 years. I assisted in recording burial records in Kane and Dupage County cemeteries and then was the editor of "First Methodist Church" in Aurora recording their history going back to 1850. While there I volunteered with the Aurora Historical Society to help in transcribing probate records from Kane Co., IL court records.
My wife, Karolyn [Kendig] and I met while comparing notes on my gr-gr grandfather Silas Reynolds in 1998. We had both lost our spouses earlier. She is also active in genealogy tracing family records for over thirty years. We happen to be 4th cousins and in 1999 decided to work together and published a book of our common ancestor "The Descendants of Benjamin and Anna [Cornell] Reynolds" in 2004. Since then we have continued our research and "Find A Grave" has been a great resource for remembering and displaying them to others. I only enter Memorials of relatives and I am willing to transfer some of those.

I recently (yesterday) sent a transfer/merge request to the manager of the Joseph Fenton memorial and hopefully we can agree on a single memorial solution.

Alma Reed
I have transfered Alma Reed to you and I see my daughter had transfered Homer Cantrell to you also. I knew and went to church with Alma and John Reed starting in 1958. They were such loving people. I'm not sure If I have John's memorial, but if I do, I'll also transfer it. I also remember Homer moving here later.
