Bio

I'm currently driving around the country, pulling over sometimes when I see a cemetery (when I have phone service) and taking photos for Find a Grave. I'm not stopping at every cemetery but completed my goal of getting at least one photo request in each of the lower 48 state.


If I Claimed a request, I probably already have the photo in my phone but not the bandwidth to upload from the cemetery. But I MIGHT have updated the GPS coordinates for the marker at the cemetery--but don't be surprised at the number of times I forget to use this feature--Then it takes me days to find wifi and upload them because I'd rather be driving around than uploading photos :-)


If the two week time frame has passed and I have not uploaded the photo, send me a message with as much info as possible and I'll go check my camera.


Anyone finding a photo I took and uploaded to Findagrave, has my full permission to use the photo in their personal files, including non-commerical family trees, such as wikitree.com

A full citation should be given, and anyone who copies the photo from your post, must also copy the citation.


Below is a sample citation:

Photographer Thomas at findagrave(https://www.findagrave.com/user/profile/46634159), "photo of [Name] gravestone," FindAGrave https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/[ID], [Memorial ID, Cemetery Name, Location]. Used with permission of the photographer. 


I no longer accept your edits without adding a note--including your screen name and FG Member number--telling where the info came from (in the bio.)
