Hi there, I've been volunteering for Find a Grave since 2014 - I love connecting with other volunteers and I'm in awe of those who dedicate so much of their time to creating and taking care of memorials.

CURRENT PROJECTS

ALBURY PIONEER CEMETERY

Working through all graves at the Albury Pioneer Cemetery and ensuring the grave plots are entered, photos are added (marked and unmarked), and memorials are added from the Albury Cemetery website.

Acknowledgement must be given to S.M., Sonya Salzke, and AussieJeff who have completed the bulk of the work in the Cemetery and Helen L Castle for working through and resolving duplicates.

WODONGA CEMETERY

Wodonga Cemetery Early Burials Project

Adding biographies and memorials for people who died in the 1850s - 1880s. Also adding photos - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Sandie_McKoy_-_Early_Wodonga_Cemetery_Burials

MY PHILOSOPHIES ON MEMORIALS

1: memorials should ideally be managed by family members. My goal is to manage zero memorials by the time I finish up on the site. I don't mind if it's your 10 x great grandparent or 6 x great grand aunt, I will happily transfer the memorial to you as it will be in great hands :) In the meantime, I'm honoured to be a temporary caretaker of your loved one.

2: where multiple family members are managing memorials of ancestors, the most direct line family members should manage the memorials. They are the most closely related, and have the closest connection. If you are more closely related to a shared ancestor, I will happily transfer the memorial to you.

MEMORIAL PHOTOS

If you would like to use grave photos for your trees - go for it. I don't care about acknowledgement. Just please don't use them for other Grave websites such as Billion Graves or Australian Cemeteries Index.

In saying that, I will always credit the source for other Find a Grave members who upload photos - personally I'm just happy people can access photos of their ancestors graves.
