While on a quest to learn more about my own family, I developed quite the addiction at scouring through newspaper archives and census records , connecting names to faces, stories to lives.

I am uploading pictures because I think it's important that the deceased are remembered as people who actually existed, they are not just headstones filling a cemetery and - because this was the case with me, I know there are people out there who have heard of, but never met a deceased relative and would be delighted to see a picture of them.
