I currently manage entries that include my in-law's and my son's paternal family. No transfers of those entries or their collateral lines will be made.

Along the way, with the help of another user, I found that Alabama alone has almost thirty thousand orphaned entries. You can do a search by state, county or by birth or death.

Access to my tribal pages has been restricted and my email address changed due to safety concerns and all suggested edits sent through findagrave must remain on the topic of adding, removing or amending information in memorials.

Not really hung up on anything but would ask that you respect whatever decision I make. Edits I might not approve are listed below.

• Estimated dates from census or other records with a preference for a tombstone image to back up those dates. Estimated dates will be added to the biography.

• Graphic details regarding death. Please redact death certificates. My family has lost someone to homicide; I would not want those details made public.

• Census and death record abstracts are not biographies. Please check your grammar and omit living persons.

• Lot information will not be amended without a specific reason for suggesting this edit. As long as the numerical or lettered value is correct, the presentation in this field is simply a matter of preference. It does not hinder understanding that the two things mean exactly the same.

For example:
Lot 1 Plat 2 vs Plat 2 Lot 1
Or:
Square 6, Scott's Free Burying Ground or Scott's Free Burial Ground 6.


Sage advice from a Friend of Bill W.

• Don't forget to show your teeth when you smile.

• We have two choices when it comes to our own behavior.

• Vinegar should be used in moderation.

• Make sure your cornbread is done in the middle.

• In Alabama, you can get frost bite and sunburn in the same week, so it is best to wear a hat and keep a sweater in your car.

• Never give your word or make a promise you cannot keep.

• Seek peace whenever possible. Others might call this weakness but it takes strength to walk away from anything or anyone that disturbs your soul.
