I came across this site by accident one day. www.findagrave.com
It is a very cool site for memorials to passed away loved ones. I had fun searching for relatives. Then I had fun sending emails trying to get 'ownership' of my families memorials and finally taking pictures of headstones and adding pics to the memorials. I havent heard back from anyone about transferring the memorials but im ok with that as I can still add pics and/or sponser them. If I want to make corrections or add info I have to email the creator and ask them to add the info but I havent gone that far yet.
Long story short I have read alot of FAQ and sent a few emails and etc...and as for now im leaving ownership as is. Quote taken from the FAQ: 'The ultimate goal should be to have meaningful, accurate memorials that honor those who have passed away, regardless of who created the memorial or who maintains it'.
If you have any questions feel free to email me and I will tell you what I know. This was just a short intro to the site, my part in it, and so you can go look up relatives and whatever.
Also I have no idea who Keith Justus is or any information on him or why he is making memorials for our family (alot of people on this site do it just for a hobby). I have emailed him but he has not responded yet.
Anyway...have fun. Click around in there and most importantly leave a virtual flower to let me know you visited or at least email me and tell me what you think.

You might be glad to know that Keith Justus transferred all the Hawn's he managed to me on Find A Grave. No personal email though so I dont know if I will ever hear from him. But I thanked him on his page. I went out today and took a bunch of pictures of headstones locally. I will posting them soon. I hope when you visit each persons memorial you will leave a virtual flower so I know you were there and everyone can read your memorial if you want.
