If you got one of my (yes, thousands! of) edits and you're wondering if I'm a relative of someone whose grave record you manage, the answer is no. I read a lot of old newspapers, public records, and genealogies; turns out your great-uncle Morton was quite the mover-and-shaker back in Winnemucca, at least up until that unpleasant incident with his wife, his girlfriend, and ol' widow MacPherson. Bless her soul, she always was blind as a bat.

But listen, Morton was actually born in South Winnemucca, not Winnemucca Township... I know, yeah — can you believe that 1897 county line readjudication? Registrar of deeds must've had a hell of a year, am I right? Eh?

A note to contributors (2018): I'm often slow to respond due to other commitments. If you e-mail me via "Send a Correction" on a memorial and I don't respond or update the memorial within 1-2 weeks, please feel free to leave a reminder here. I am eager to be helpful.
