I have loved exploring family history since I was 10 years old and my grandmother gave me a rolled-up portrait of her Norwegian grandfather from 1898. I immediately took it into school for show and tell. I have visited cemeteries for many years to find family memorials in Dover NJ, Schenectady NY, and Philadelphia. I love discovering new bits of information from unlikely sources, like epitaphs and letters. I am a proofreader by trade, so when I see errors in transcriptions (especially my own), I will always suggest an edit. When I post or transcribe new memorials, I like to think that I am honoring those people and helping to preserve their memories for future generations.
