Bio and Links
Bio Photo Blessings fellow researchers. I have been researching my family history for about one year now and to say that I am obssessed would be an understatement. I grew up not being able to complete my family tree beyond my grandparents on both sides. I have come a long way thanks to Ancestry.com and Findagrave.com and to the extended family members who have done so much before me. I love finding little tidbits about my ancestors, it helps me to feel like I know them. Photos and newspaper articles are a special treasure. I have just recently been looking into the cemeteries nearby and in photographing the headstones and memorials of my family members. Another researcher sent a photo of my dads headstone to me (I didn't even know there was one... LONG STORY) but I was so grateful I am willing to do the same for others. I love getting connected with other people researching the same family members and I have even found my moms long lost(35 yrs) brother as a result. I have just recently started creating memorials here so I am a novice but if I can help anyone i'm glad to do so. I love that I get to pass down what I have found to my daughters. I am trying to get them interested as well.

Happy searching to you all,
Kim

Kim,

I'm happy to transfer this memorial to you. Please go to the memorial and click on the Edit button, then on "Suggest a correction". The message I get will include the memorial number and your Find A Grave contributor number. That ensures that I get the right memorial and the right contributor.

BTW, I love what you have done with your dad's memorial.

Thanks,

Robin

Marshall and Elsie Plots
Hi Kim,

I am not the owner of those two plots so I can't make the correction to those memorials that you pointed out to me.

I sent a copy of your info to the owner but nothing on the memorials has changed as yet.

Thanks for claiming the photo requests...dwcooley

Hello, I am going to claim the photo requests for Marshall and Elsie. I just wanted to let you know that on the Memorial page you have the plot listed as Next to mom and next to dad respectively, the actual plot information is

Marshall Lorenza Llewellyn plot: section- Tender Promise, Map # 03, Space 3
elsie Lou Llewellyn plpt: section-Tender Promise, Map # 03, Space 2

RE: Is that common?
Kim, like me, you feel for things we can relate too. I just found my Great-Aunt and Uncle, buried next to one another, both died 4 years apart, as teens:( I was PRAYING Martin had a family. I looked so long and hard, I felt like they were my missing children, I cried when I saw Martin next to Callie:'( Sometimes genealogy is a bit rough on me

Is that common?
That a body is not claimed (how sad:( by a family, a memorial cannot be found?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your efforts. This was the las uncle I needed to find to connect the family together. Do you mind if I copy the picture to Etta Alene Barbarick's page as well?

Sam & Eileen Beaty
Thank you so much for taking the time to take the photo! The picture is great!

Eileen is my aunt and my father's twin sister. We were able to visit her shortly before her death but were unable to attend the funeral.

Having the picture will make my father very happy.

Thanks, again!

Kim, would you like me to transfer his memorial to you? also you added the funeral card as a "grave photo", you should have used the "other photo" photo option, easy to correct, just delete it and redo it. If you need any help with it, or with your Orrill genealogy let me know.
