I am a Genealogist by trade. I have written extensive family histories books for my ancestral lines, as well as those of my clients through use of vital documents, wills, letters, photographs, history notes left by ancestors, interviews, newspapers and libraries.

Family Histories Written:

* The Schubarths from Norway to Providence, Rhode Island
* The Kenneys from Tralee to Waterbury, Connecticut
* The Reads of Newport Rhode Island: Descendants of John Eleazer Read and Eliza Cornell Barker
* Clementes from Ausonia, Italy to Utica, New York

On Find A Grave, I feel that it is important to provide biographies of each ancestor. I believe it will be helpful to those searching today, and in the future. All of our ancestors have a story and I cannot think of a better way to memorialize each person who contributed to society and kept the family lines flowing forward, than adding a biography.

I enjoy adding much of that information to Find a Grave as I hope that it will help future generations find clues to their own past.

If you receive a 'suggest an edit' from me, I would encourage you to contact me prior to making a decision that you will NOT add that information. If you have questions before placing the biography on a page you manage, by all means ask. If you are not related to the individual that is a family member of mine, I am hopeful that you will not mind transferring the memorial to me to manage for my family.
