Bio
For my information…. Volunteer Jeff Minnich ID#48484798 July 2025 became very nasty when I asked for support
for his suggested edit for Gail Franklin Linger. I did research the best I knew how and couldn't find what he wanted to be amended. He told me that I was lazy and said if he hadn't he wouldn't have made the suggestion. This person I do not want to have to deal with ever again.
My family tree research include: Ambrose, Hicks, Tyler, Vanscoy, Hart, Wilmoth, Jacobs, Beahn/Bean, Chrismore/Crismore, Stevenson, Zolton/Zoltan, Freeland
DEAR ANCESTOR,
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.
-Walter Butler Palmer
