An avid genealogist for more than 40 years who enjoys gathering and sharing data and records because I know all too well how easy it is for records we need to become lost or destroyed over time. I am currently enjoying photographing gravestones at my local cemeteries as it fulfills all my loves of genealogy, history, and photography and gets me out of my easy chair and away from staring at my computer screen for too long reading hard-to-decipher handwriting while researching records.
I am finding that many of the gravestone photographs I upload here do not yet have memorials and, as a result I now manage thousands of these "new" memorials. So, If I have a memorial that you would like to manage, please contact me and I will be more than happy to transfer it/them to you (if they are not my own family). Also feel free to use the photos I have shared here on your own family trees as long as they are not for commercial use.
