I enjoy working on genealogy. I am trying to get cemeteries around me as updated as possible, so I will only create a memorial for a non-family member if I have a picture of the grave but there is no memorial yet because I fully believe no one should ever be forgotten. Please, if I have created a memorial for your family member and you want to manage it, just ask for a transfer. I am not worried about how many memorials I manage of people who have nothing to do with me. I am worried about memorials being in the right hands. You will know more to add to memorials about your family than I will.

Yes, I will put old death certificates on my memorials until a grave photo is taken. I treat a death certificate as proof of cemetery. No, I won't take them down just because you asked, unless you are providing a photo of the grave along with your request. 95% of them are my family and that is the only reason I created a memorial before having a grave photo. The other 5% are ones that were transferred to me when all I did was suggest an edit.

I am researching my family names of:

Marasti - Italy, Pennsylvania, California, Indiana and Illinois

David Henry and Margaret (Black) Somerville family - Scotland

Massimilano and Oliva (Tosi) Raggioli family - Italy

Starkey, Dotson, Turner, Kirby, Warford, Ancell, Hedrick, Abney, Prater, Chandler, Sumpter, Conway, Jinkerson and Burns and a few more I can't think of right now. - Iron, Washington and Dent counties in Missouri, mainly...there are a few other counties with a few in them. Also in Illinois, around Pearl, Smithton, Addieville etc.

I am also looking for info on Rigdon and Schwartz from the Ste. Genevieve, MO area.

If you have information or are looking up the same families and would like to see what info I have, email me at [email protected]

Anyone at anytime has full permission to use any grave photos I've taken. You can use them as you wish, to put on any website, no photo credit needed or wanted. Permission is immediately revoked if you are or plan on using them to be hateful or harm their memory. Although I have faith that no one on this website will use photos to harm memory, I had to add that last part just in case, you know?
