Bio
I have been researching my Virginia and West Virginia genealogical branches for over 35 years. My husband and I share 7 grandparents. My brother-in-law, living on an Indian reservation, also shares grandparents with me.
Small world!
As of 3/24, I am ceasing adding memorials with biographies to this site. I recently went to update a couple of my memorials to find that they were they had been taken over. I had no access to them. Ancestry said if someone has a picture of the tombstone, it becomes their memorial. Years ago, they would graciously add it to your work…. Not take it all together! Your hours of research and writing don't count; even if you are a relative. They don't even have to acknowledge you did the work. They haven't acknowledged I wanted my work back either.
