Hi Dianna, I'm sending this to the list as there may be others that wish to submit a memorial or biography. So far, only one person has submitted a memorial besides myself. I would just write a short bio like: "My grandfather, John Jones, worked in the SuchNSuch mine in West Virginia. He was killed/injured/lucky to escape without injury on this date....He was married to SoNSo and had this many children, and that many grandchildren. " I know this is a VERY vague bio, but you can put as much information as you wish. Or you can share a story about your coal miner ancestor. When we pass our grandfather's stories onto our children, isn't that paying tribute? I think it is. :) Hope this helps!
