Nothing annoys me more than Credit Seekers and Memorial hogs. Some people have no business holding some family memorials hostage.

I have been working on my own family genealogy for a better part of the last 30 years off and on. I have a life, but I work on my family continuously.

Sometimes there are many descendants, so I do research to make sure details are correct. I understand sometimes, some records aren’t easy to find. I understand that the family knows more about their own family than an outsider who runs 20,000 memorials with no connection to any of them.

I understand sometimes the only record in life, is whom we are buried with. This is why this website is a useful tool in helping to establish a piece of the puzzle when one trying to learn more about their history, and sharing what they do know for the rest. It is not common at all for people who have no relation to each other to be buried with each other, so it is very useful in establishing those important links.

My Grandmother was 100% German, My Grandfather was Irish, German, and more Norwegian than he liked to admit. On my other side, My other grandparents descend from people who arrived on the Mayflower, and all over the place. Almost 100% English, Welsh, Scandinavian, through medieval Europe and beyond.

I have always had an interest in where my ancestors are from. My Great Uncle Donald Dee Johnson from the USS Utah in Pearl Harbor started to trace and organize some of our lineage in the late 1960's and early 70's. I inherited a copy of his work in the early 1990’s, and his research gave me a great start, and the fire I needed. I have found a wealth of information on my grandmother Erma M Faulk on the internet, and verified information with some living relatives. There isn't much on Erma's brief husband Joe E. Johnston. He is listed as my Grandmother Dorothy Faulk's birth certificate as her father. Dorothy Faulk, an only child, married Elmer Ernest Johnson, and I descend from there. I am unfortunate to have the second most common surname in recent American History there.

I inherited genealogy research and tons of photos on my mother's side. Kurt, Hellenbrand, Wipperfurth, Heinrich , Endregart, (all from Wisconsin, and prussia/germany, and Austria), Olsen's from Bergen Norway, Gallaghers, etc.

I am compiling a book on The Kurts from Prussia. If you descend and want to be a part of it, please contact me.

Thank you everyone who have found and posted grave sites and memorials. May we never forget where we come from.
