Bio
I'm overseas (ex-pat American) so it's hard to do any researching if the facts are not online. I'm looking at completing my trees for Shriver (US & Germany) , Bails (US & England), and Pasurka (US & Germany, Austria, Czech.), plus Henderson (UK), and Roothooft (Belgium - which is nigh on impossible).
I like linking up 'lost' family members here, and if a deceased person is known but does not (yet) have a FG ID number, PLEASE ADD [manually] a note of their name/s and date/s in a bio note on one of the parent's [or siblings] FG pages. Findagrave is a huge help (as is familysearch.com) in completing (and correcting) my family tree/s. However, one 'feature' that makes it much more helpful is when folks post a BIO NOTE and a published OBITUARY that names other relatives (and dates with locations if possible). But published original newspaper obits are the most useful.
Also, a little request of those generous and helpful folks who take gravestone PHOTOS; a close-up showing names and dates and inscriptions is great, but even more helpful would be another photo from a little greater distance showing (if possible) the surrounding stones of the same family (and their readable engraving, if possible); this can help us link to other family members who may not otherwise be known. Thank you and enjoy genealogy. - A Shriver.
