Bio and Links
Bio Photo I am trying to keep memories alive in the Portage/Kalamazoo Michigan area and beyond.

** PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do your research when adding a memorial. Check that the person has NOT been added before you add yours. I spend a lot of time researching the site before I add a person so please do the same. We are one big family here trying to conserve history and no one likes to spend a lot of time memorializing a person to find out their work was in vain. **

God bless everyone that has passed, their families and all the F.A.G volunteers who take a lot of their time on this site!!

Thanks,
BW

Thank you for the information. It has been added. I'm sure there will be a full obituary in a few days. Helen

Thank you so much for getting that for me I know it hasn't been the best weather in Michigan these past few days. I really appreciate your doing this so fast, and appreciate the time and effort it takes, and the time you give to others.

Sincerely

Hi BW,

You added the photo of Lawrence W. Smith's grave marker to Lawrence E. Smith's memorial. Perhaps you could go in and switch it.

Thanks.

The original owner of the memorials for George Babcock Rix and Jennitt "Jennie" Cameron just transferred management to me. Since you are a direct relation and I am not, I have transferred them to you. Regards, Linne

RE: Rix Family (2)
Nice to meet you, cousin. My gg-grandfather was Oel Rix, brother of Garner Johnson. He married Lydia Sage and they lived in the Memphis, MI area. I was working to update some of my records for my branch of the family when I realized I had information on your branch. I am glad you are open to all my information. I am not in the Kalamazoo area, Colorado instead. One of the surprises for me when I started working on the family history was meeting "new" cousins. It was not something I had anticipated. I have found George Babcock Rix (70471477) and his second wife, Jennitt "Jennie" [Cameron] (70471551) Rix. I have asked the owner of their memorials to link them together and to link George to his parents. Since they are not my direct line, I did not ask for management. I will leave that to you. Do you have any information on Elizabeth "Betsey" Rix and her husband, Chauncey Bonfoey? I found pictures on Ancestry.com indicating they are buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, but there is no "Find A Grave" memorial that I can find. Regards, Linne
