Bio

I so much appreciate the efforts that have been put into the Find a Grave website. I've found invaluable genealogy material in my own research at the postings. I do a lot of edits, even if I don't know the people, because when I'm looking, I'll often find "the wrong person" but what I add to the edits may help others tell at a glance if that is "the right person" for them. Using two monitors at my computer is immensely helpful to have my Family Tree program open in one, & my browser in the other, so I can go back & forth to look at the info to get it right. One thing that I find problematic is that I often have the town & state that a person has lived/died in, but don't know the county, so have to open another tab in my browser to look that up. And sometimes the small towns aren't listed in the list of towns available (I'm from Iowa-(Waterloo) & there a lot of small towns there.
