Find-A-Grave serves two important purposes. First, it provides a memorial for a person who has passed from this earthly existence into eternity. It is a way to remember that person and all that was so wonderful about him or her. Second, it provides information to family members about their relatives. This is especially important the farther one goes back in the generations, because our familiarity with these people declines as our distance from them increases.

The photos I have added to this site are meant to be shared with others. If I have given credit to someone who had given me a photo, PLEASE INCLUDE THAT CREDIT with that picture when you save it to your family tree. That is only fair.
