My Mentor Truitt "Tim" Bonney passed in October 2024; we spent many years working together to link families. He was a wonderful historian and worked hard in local cemeteries to preserve history. I definitely feel his loss.

I work with a team which includes, Donna Bluemink and Dot Strawhand, our mission is to correct the records.

Edits for dates, locations, family links and obituaries are valuable information and appreciated. In case of obituaries please include the source. I will decline requests to change a city that is NOT in a county from a single to a double name (ex. Norfolk, Portsmouth VA Beach are not in Counties, so Norfolk is not Norfolk Norfolk VA).

I do not double last names with multiple spouses and prefer to link.

Dear Ancestor "Your tombstone stands among the rest neglected and alone. The name and date are chiseled out on polished stone. It reaches out to all who care. It is to late to mourn. You do not know that I exist. You died and I was born. Yet each of us are cells of you in flesh and blood and 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 how you lived and loved. I wonder if you knew that someday I would find this spot and come to visit you." ~Walter Butler Palmer"

And Me?

I did not wake up this morning to be mediocre!
