Bio

I like to link family members together and I like it when Obits are posted. This is a great site for genealogy searching. I dislike those "obituary chasers" who just want to add to their numbers.
I saw this on another member's site and also wanted to pass it on.
"I think it is really a shame what findagrave has evolved into. What started as a noble way to link people with graves of loved ones they could never hope to see, and with the generations that had preceded them, has turned into a game for some.
Memorials have turned into a kind of "trading card", a competition of who can own the most memorials and post the highest numbers. What has been forgotten by many is that these are people, loved in life and death, not a commodity to be traded or owned.
My apologies to those that have pure motives. I hope there are more of us than there are of them."
