I have been doing genealogy research since 1997. I believe everyone's story should be told. My favorite thing is to find the family of someone who is listed on Find-A-Grave without any relatives and then to link those family members together.

I will accept requests to add periods to marker information and to add veteran status. If possible, please provide information confirming veteran status.

Please be aware that death certificates are not a reliable source of information for the decedent's place of birth, date of birth, and parents. They are a good source of information for the date and place of death and usually the place of burial. The information for the decedent is provided by people who may not have known much about the decedent or did not remember accurately.

I spoke with a friend today who went with her husband to place flowers on his great-grandfather's grave in a Madison County, Arkansas, cemetery. A tornado went through that area a short time ago and she said two trees had fallen across the fence, totally destroying his great-grandfather's gravestone as well as another one. If you are submitting an edit request for whatever reason and you would like to submit the information on the marker, please feel free to do so. This storm is a reminder that things do not last forever and this is a way to preserve that information.
