Have been doing family research for many years. Paternal surnames: Pitts, Marshall, Stone, Fightmaster, out of Lewis & Fleming Co.,KY., our line came to Ind.; Maternal surnames: Jones, Fife out of VA./WV.& PA. and Dodds, Dilts, out of NJ & OH, all then to Shelby Co.,IN., and Manlief, out of PA./TN., Ruble out of VA., then both to Dearborn Co.,IN., Ketcham, Platt, Morss, out of NY., then Dearborn Co.,IN., Morton, out of OH, then Dearborn Co.,IN; Brown out of Baltimore,MD.,& Carson out of OH. both to Franklin Co.,IN to Jennings Co.& Bartholomew Co.,IN., Roop/Roope out of Germany, PA.& IN.; from husband's side: Meyer, Senne, Thielbar, Hoffman, Miller, Horstman out of Schonberg & Diepholz, Germany to NY., Cincinnati, OH.,then to Decatur & Ripley Co.,IN.

I love walking the cemeteries, recording & taking grave photos to FaG whenever I can; also researching family & others, finding their obits, and posting them on FaG and linking them to family. I feel this is a wonderful service to any one trying to find their families. If I can be of help to anyone, especially in Bartholomew, Shelby, Decatur or Ripley counties in Indiana, just let me know.

Quote from Findagrave: "The goal is not to "own" every memorial of those to whom you are related. THE ULTIMATE GOAL SHOULD BE TO HAVE MEANINGFUL, ACCURATE MEMORIALS THAT HONOR THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY, REGARDLESS OF WHO CREATED THE MEMORIAL OR WHO MAINTAINS IT."
