Bio

I will accept all transfers.


I WILL make transfers outside of guidelines, both giving and receiving, under the "families should stay together" credo which some Find-A-Grave members have adopted. Also my own credo of, "Hey, you're doing some important work with a particular type of grave, and you asked nicely, so here you go."


If you want me to transfer management of a distant relative's grave, just ask. I am only trying to document a few graves, but if you are ANY kin to the person and want a transfer, obviously that's no problem.


I've been involved since my teenage years with historical and genealogical research, so it just seems natural I would get involved with Find A Grave.


Feel free to use my photos in other contexts like family histories, but if it's an original photo by me *please* credit the photo to: Johnny History On Find A Grave Dot Com.


Most of my photos, however, are NOT originals but Commonwealth War Graves documents. Those should be credited to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. And, it should be noted , the Commonwealth War Graves Commission has oodles of documents on their site.


Please tour and enjoy my virtual cemeteries, and make suggestions for additions. I have a virtual cemetery of people who appear in the Bible, one for canonized saints and those who are "Blessed" and might be canonized, a cemetery of interesting stories, and more. Leave virtual flowers, candles, flags, etc, if you feel so inclined


I am particularly interested in documenting cemeteries in foreign nations. I think I have added more cemeteries in Afghanistan than any other Find A Grave member. I have documented cemeteries in India and Mexico. I hope to add to that list.


I hope one day, there are no more unknowns...or at least many, many less than there are today. I hope DNA testing will link the vast numbers of unknown graves to living relatives, and most graves will become marked, known, and cared for...not neglected or paved over to become a bus station or something.
