Bio

After having to medically retire I decided to do research and do my family tree. My virtual cemeteries are of each portion of my family tree (paternal grandmother and grandfather and maternal grandfather and great grandmother). As I am working on my family tree I have been learning who my family members are and working on getting the information for their pages so that they can all be as correct as possible. I believe if you're going to be in charge of a memorial for someone who has passed, that you should keep that memorial as correct as possible when information comes to light. I'm looking for Ottersons, Dales, Knutson/Knudtsons, Christensons, Moes, Stokes, Eckers and Bluskes and their descendants (most are in Wisconsin and the area).

As of right now, since I'm just starting at the research of my family (and FAG), I don't have many pages of people who aren't part of my family but in the future, I may have pages that are your relatives and not mine. I don't mind at all if you ask for the transfer of your relative that I may have, even outside of FAG suggestions. I hope to have many more pages that are not of any relation to me, simply because I would love to help others find their relatives. (I mentioned I had to medically retire, so it's quite an issue most days for me to be able to go walk cemeteries, but I hope to be able to improve so that I am able to. I happen to find cemeteries the most peaceful place, next to my church.)

I am definitely learning who my distant relatives are and learning about them and appreciate that their pages are correct when the information is available. If you have missing information and would like to manage your "6th great grandfather's page" that I may have, please let me know. Heck, even let me know if I happen to have your family member's page that you don't have any corrections for but just want management of in case you find information. If they aren't a relative of mine and are a relative of yours, no problem at all! I don't believe FAG is a popularity contest and a contest to try to get the most pages that you manage and holding pages "hostage" as some seem to do.

Later into this journey, my life has not allowed me to be able to do family tree things near as much as I wish I would have been able to. As I have said, I was forced to medically retire. I will not disclose the specifics of the medical issues, but for those that think they are better than everyone else, just because my profile says I have been a member of find-a-grave for so long, doesn't mean I spend every day of my life here and know everything there is to know about find-a-grave AND it does not mean that I have the ability to call cemeteries and get plot information. If you do not want to accept my requests for photos because I am unable to do that, PLEASE don't. That should rectify the issues some people have and constantly sent messages about how they are perfect and someone else is not. I don't have time for stress from anyone here so if you are unable to act like a human being to other people, don't speak to them. For those of you that are enjoyable people and know that not everyone is perfect, I appreciate you and the contributions you make to helping me, as well as everyone else.
