I have always been intersted in my family history. Most people think I'm crazy, if I see a cemetery I want to stop and take pictures. I have had people say, you don't even know anybody in there. My responds. but somebody does, and they might be looking for them. If you think I might be crazy for spening my days off in a cemetery, you should be there, when I am talking to the people there. lol I flip back and forth from findagrave & ancestry.

The family names I am most interested in are

Hunting down Hellweg & all variants of the spelling. -primarily found in Missouri, Illinois, and Germany..

Rich & Riggs in Central Illinois

Ramsey, & Priest in Missouri & Tennessee

Dorsey & Parrish in Texas.



If I have entered a duplicate memorial of one of yours or mine or if you have any additional info or corrections let me know. Please add Find A Grave in the subject line. This will not offend me.

Thanks to everyone that added pictures, flowers and additional info to the memorials. It is a blessing to see what we can do when we work together.
