Bio
Born in SK, raised in MB, lived in BC, now in AB. Retired & happily married.
Became interested in genealogy as a child, to figure out how folks were related and even more so since about 1980. Took the AB Genealogical Society course in 1999. Community history books and memberships with My Heritage, Ancestry and GRandMaOnline are all helpful tools. Discovering Findagrave in 2019 was a dream come true and I contribute to it constantly, offering edits, adding names, dates, places, photos and linking family members.
When I create a FindaGrave Memorial I do so out of respect for the individual and/or to link family members: not for my own personal gratification or to gain numbers "like notches on a rifle handle". It's a hobby, not my goal. Be kind.
I'm happy to transfer a FGM to a family member if the member explains how they are related to the deceased. I can only hope others will be respectful and do the same for me.
Note: I have not "taken" most of the photos attributed to me on FG. I likely cropped and/or lightened the photo to make it more legible and reposted it. I try to remember to give photo credits.
