After my mother passed away in 2018 I began my genealogy search. It kept my mind busy and the more I researched the more I had wished I had paid more attention to what my Grandparents, parents, etc told me about my family!
My mother was born in 1935 to Eleanore "Adele" Fassett Collier and Raymond K Collier. Eleanore "Adele" passed away when my mom was not even 2 years old. That is when she was adopted by her biological cousin, Elizabeth Loeb Fassett and Cecil F. Fassett. My mom was their only child. We weren't told anything about mom's biological parents, siblings etc. So my thirst was great.
And then I found how Find A Grave was such an asset in finding family. Which led me to visit the graves of my mothers biological family and that in turn got me very comfortable in cemeteries and the desire to help OTHERS find their family. So each time I am in my hometown of Ashtabula, Ohio. I visit a cemetery and photograph as many of the headstones as I can. In turn I add them to Find A Grave if there is no memorials for them or add the photo if one is missing from an already established memorial. I love the research as well as the calmness I find when walking through so much history.

I am ALWAYS willing to transfer a memorial to a family member of any of the memorials that I am in charge of. Just ask! If I'm not related to them, the transfer will be given.
