My purpose on Find A Grave is to add most helpful and fulfilling information to memorials. I originally began contributing to this site after noticing Find A Grave is a source for many individual profiles on Ancestry.com trees, therefore I also hope to help with researchers on that site who are related.

I like to add some extra information to some memorials I manage of people I descent from or other relatives, that I hope is helpful to some relatives or descendants.

As written by Benjamin Franklin Teeter in Ancestors and descendants of Benjamin Franklin Teeter: including genealogy of some other relatives:

"What our fore-parents were like, we do not know, but this we must concede that they had something about them we call "Guts". Enough of that to leave their homeland, to cross the Atlantic, to press on inland to take up their home site in the valleys and hills among the Indians in the wilderness of Pendleton County, West Virginia.

It is only natural that we, their descendants, would like to know something about them. Why did we leave their homeland? Did they leave close relatives behind? We would like to know about their education, their religion, their financial status and many other things, but most of this information is forever lost, because those things were not recorded."

I recommend this book to anyone interested, related to Rev. Benjamin Y. S. Teeter, or the Wimer, Nelson, and Shreve families.

I also recommend you record this information about your own relatives somewhere, so it is not forgotten or lost in history. I can't begin to imagine all of the great family stories that have been lost to history because it was never recorded.

I like do what I can to make a memorial look better and more tidy.

The format I use for adding obituaries to a bio:

Name of Newspaper, Day/Month/Yr., Page
Location where newspaper is based, including: City, County (without "County"), State abbreviation
Obit.

Ex:

Cumberland Evening Times, 8 Apr. 1941
(Cumberland, Allegany, Md.)
