I started my Family Tree back around 1990. I started with individual Index cards (which I still use). I ran across Find-a-grave from my cousin Judy Wright which got me started on my paternal grandmothers side of the family. It is a great thing for those that do not live close or travel a lot to be able to SEE the stones for themselves and share photos. We have to realize that even stones are wrong sometimes. With the Grave requests as I go to one's I'm physically looking for myself I look up any grave requests and for the smaller cemeteries take pictures of all. When I add a memorial I look up all available information on WV Division of Culture and History. For the dates more current and in Randolph County, WV I go to the courthouse. I hope to be of assistance to those in need of information.

I mean no disrespect by posting a found Birth/Death Cert- only to assist the maintainer or myself if cannot find parents or make notes in Bio. I typically go thru my uploaded photos and delete the vital stats downloaded if they have been able to link or annotate information off of it. I usually check edits/email a couple times a week. If you need it removed before I go thru. If you have anything to assist in finding information on those I maintain docs are welcome.

For photo requests, I mainly do Randolph, Barbour, Upshur, Tucker and Pendleton County West Virginia.

See my Virtual Cemetery for my direct lineage.
