Oct. 3, 2025 - Yes 8 years later and I'm still working on Cedar Hill Cem., in Brooklyn. It's been an adventure!!!

RETIRING CONTRIBUTORS:

If you are retiring from FG, I would gladly take on management of memorials in the Cedar Hill Cemetery, Brooklyn Park, Anne Arundel County, Maryland (#80828). Thank you for all your invaluable contributions.

Since the change with FG to Ancestry:

"Since the move to Ancestry and the new website, newspaper obituaries, death certificates and other scanned documentation is allowed. We encourage members to move the images down to the bottom of the photo display so that they are not the first thing you see when viewing a memorial page." - FG Administrator

====================================

"Since dates calculated by subtracting the age at death from the year of death are not always correct... It is better to leave the field empty than to introduce errors that mislead."

Dec 25, 2024: Hat Tip to Donkey Hoty #47991323

"Over 99% of the memorials I have added have been sourced from the obituaries of people unknown to me, found in newspaper archives. Relying upon the accuracy of newspaper obituaries results in misplaced burials. My apologies for burials not yet correctly placed."

Please send all transfer requests and modifications via FG "EDIT" button. THANK YOU!

1. DUPLICATIONS - If I created a duplicate profile, please use the "Report Duplicate" button. I'm perfectly "ok" with the fact that the profile that I created is merged into another. I have used the feature extensively over the last few years! LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this feature!

2. TRANSFERS - I'm happy to transfer any of the profiles I've created, unless of course they are my own direct relatives. But please ask! I didn't create them to accumulate them!!! I hope a family member comes along to claim them!

3. OBIT or NOT TO OBIT - Yes, most of the profiles I created are without headstones (i.e. primarily sourced from obits). Many have since been "found" and a headstone photo has been added. Individuals lived and deserve to be remembered! Just because they do not have a headstone (yet), doesn't mean they are not of importance! As proven, creating these profiles has resulted in headstones being "found". So, thank you to all of the dedicated contributors who have FOUND a headstone and photographed them. Your HOURS are priceless for those that can't be "feet on the ground". Many of us are still trying to FIND our loved-ones, and creating a profile from an obit is an interim step!

PS: Almost 4 years later, and still working on Cedar Hill Cemetery, Brooklyn, Anne Arundel County!!!

THANK YOU to everyone who helped me complete my project associated with both the Mabel Memorial and Woodbine Cemeteries. I'm happy to say the linking together of families in those two locations has come to an end!!!

I can't claim that I made links for all 7000+ individual profiles. But I will claim that I did my very best to find parents' and spouses' profiles, even if they were not buried in Woodbine or Mabel. I found it heartbreaking to find a profile that previously did not have any family links!!!

I'm especially appreciative to those who created the profiles and provided photos. A special KUDOS to those photographers who took expanded photos. You provided clues that I could not necessarily find via Ancestry.com

Happy Hunting!

PS: I've now moved onto linking family members at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Brooklyn Park MD!!!
