Please feel free to edit, add on or correct any errors. You may use my photos wherever they are helpful. Use them in your family research or on Ancestry.com or wherever. That's really the point of doing this in my opinion - to share information and photos. I'm not territorial. I don't own these pages or even the photos I took. Once they are posted, they are there to help others. I am a Contributor and I contribute to this site for public use.

There are 20 openings for photos on each Memorial Page, so please add on. Sometimes a photo at a different angle or with better detail and clarity is helpful. Find A Grave is a Collaborative Community where anyone can post photos.

I will transfer most memorial pages I have made to a family member or friend. Just ask. If the memorial page means something to you, then you should manage it.

This site is a valuable resource for future Generations.

*******I am not related to most of the people I have added to this site and mean nothing but respect. My goal is to try to help others locate family and friends and to assist in research*******

Last name field - When a woman was married more than once. Include the last name on the headstone. Other married names can be included in the last name field as all surnames are searchable in Memorial Search. The 'maiden name' is only for the maiden name.

I would just like to mention that I get an enormous amount of edits and suggestions. I welcome them! I do my best, but I can't possibly check them all for accuracy. Many times the stones are transcribed by other members and bios are added by others as well. So if I don't have a period in the right spot or something doesn't look quite right to you. No need to use capital letters or tell me to review the Find a Grave rules and guidelines. Many times you don't even have to send me a message. You can just correct it yourself using the edit button. Thank you.

Thank you all for your contributions big and small . They are very much appreciated.

History remembers only the celebrated, genealogy remembers them all.
