You may notice a few memorials for the Reynolds family here. That's because they are my family.
I am more closely related to some of the older ones because I came along late, last in fact, on my dad's side. So I have a few 1st and 2nd cousins who are, or were, much older than me.

To those who complain about obituaries - May I point out one thing you have probably never thought of - There are many people out there who may have been in foster care, or who were adopted. An obituary just might contain that one thing to help them know which direction to go in to research for their true family. Obituaries are pretty accurate when they list family members, I would even say sometimes better than a Census record. Or, at least, when you put an obituary with a Census record, it might just help to fill in some of the blanks in the family.

**Also, it can be very hard to locate records for women if they were married more than one time. This is because their last name has been changed more than once, and if you don't happen to know the husband's names, or her original maiden name, it can become quite difficult to sort it all out.

I have spent a lot of time on research and notes and making comparisons, and any and all information I can find, because I am looking for specific people.
Most all of the memorials I have are ones that have been left out or overlooked.
All of them are ones that I found through Ancestry and Family Search, and other resources, and luck. The hardest thing to deal with is when people have the same, or similar, names, dates, and locations.
*Just because someone has similar names, dates, and locations does Not necessarily mean that person is the Correct person you are looking for.
I have tried to be accurate in my listings so if you see anything wrong, please let me know. I am not above human error.

Borrowing sentiments that are also mine...
I appreciate edits -- it means that someone else also cares about a memorial.
Information not shared is information lost.

The memorials I have listed here are more than just a name on a stone to me. I actually knew many of them. Some of them from when I was just a kid, and at that time I had no concept of what it was like for them to be senior citizens, they were just people I knew - their age was irrelevant at that time to me.
Some I never knew about until I started my family tree.
Others were names I heard my parents speak of, but didn't know them, but I do remember hearing those names.
And others are people I have found while doing research, but they all need to be remembered.

I am grateful to still be here to remember them, so they can be remembered by others.
Every person listed here means something special to me.
And I do realize how blessed I am to be able to say this.
