Bio

I volunteer here in order to honor and preserve the memory of those who have gone before us. I try to document memorials as completely and accurately as possible, but sometimes mistakes are made. Please let me know if corrections should be made or if you'd like ownership of a relative's memorial. Requests that just say "transfer" or something similar will not be honored.

Pictures I add are for anyone's use. I don't need recognition as the contributor for pictures or suggested edits.

About edits:
-Please don't use all caps for any text, unless it's meant to be that way. I.e. an acronym. You'll also find in the forums that "Findagraves preference has always been to have transcriptions in proper sentence case" however, "doing so is the manager's choice".
-Proper English grammar, punctuation, and F.A.G. guidelines state that initials should have a period following them.
-I've had several requests to delete memorials. Users should know you can't delete memorials you didn't create. If you want one deleted, submit edits for the incorrect memorial and then merge it with the correct one.
-Death certificates and delayed birth certificates are often VERY wrong. Please be judicious in using them as a single source of truth.
-Declined edits are not a personal attack. No need to get all mad about it.
-Be kind. The majority of people I've met here have been very nice and helpful. There are a few that just want to try and ruin someone's day. If I receive a rude, terse, or otherwise inconsiderate message, I'll reflect the same attitude, if I choose to respond.

My Flowers:
Cross = Friends, family, misc. notes.
Dove = Researched for family links, locations, dates, military, etc.
