Historian and archaeologist turned Genealogist!
Have been interested in our family history for nigh on 30 years - since a very small child, always preferred the company of my older family members - an 'Old Soul.'
Researching and 'tending' family names: Knuijt/Knight, Huberty, Weiland, Ulmen, Hoffman of Wisconsin.
Other side of the family are Zeller/Zoellers, Pabst, Diel, Felten, Stoecklein of Missouri.
My family and I are currently researching and writing our family history up, thus the new Find A Grave Account (I have been a member for years, but set up a new one for Research and Management).
However, if I'm helping someone out or come across someone who doesn't have a memorial yet, I will set one up and wait for family to come and claim them. I would be happy to transfer any of these memorials, I am not here to collect memorials and keep them to myself, but to make them available to friends, family, or other loved ones. In the meantime, I will do my utmost to provide each memorial with a good bio and any info I can find on genealogy websites, connect to other family memorials, etc. until they can be claimed.
I have recently 'inherited' a few hundred memorials when my FAG friend passed away - I will try to make my way through them and ensure they have bios, obits, pics, etc. But please, reach out if there are any family or friends who would rather tend to them.
Thank you in advance for all your help, I have met such lovely people on FaG, and really the camaraderie, knowledge, commitment to our deceased fellow man, and shared interest is truly heart-warming.

"Dear Ancestor,
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiselled out
On polished marble stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh and blood and bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder how you lived and loved
I wonder if you knew.
That someday I would find this spot
And come to visit you."
- Walter Butler Palmer (1906)
