With gratitude, admiration and respect to all of you around the world who preserve history by devoting much of your time and energy taking photographs, especially of very old and withered gravestones, which may very sadly soon be lost for ever to time and the elements!

I am very grateful to all photo volunteers who have fulfilled my photo requests. Thank you very much!

Genealogy is a favorite hobby and my focus is mainly on Alsace (France), Bavaria (Germany), Norfolk, Yorkshire, and London, England, as well as Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia, U.S.A.

I am always happy to help, but while biographical information that I have added to memorials I have created or those that I manage, is there for all to aid in their family research, such information may not be copied onto other sites without my knowledge and written consent!

I welcome any well researched edits and if I cannot verify those I am usually happy to transfer a memorial to anyone who is either more closely related or has a special interest in the memorial.

With warmest good wishes to all,

Lydia
