Bio and Links
Bio Photo I have always loved cemeteries, both for their aesthetic qualities and the infinite stories they contain about individuals, communities, and history as a whole.

This site is a wonderful escape for me; I appreciate the way it combines art, history, and paying respects to the deceased.

I take photos here in Polk County, Florida, 99.99 percent of whom are not my relatives. If you find that I've added a memorial for your Floridian friend or family member, I'll be happy to transfer the memorial to you if you wish. I'm also able to add information and return to get photos of nearby graves, etc.

I depend on generous Find A Grave volunteers to take photos for my own relatives in cemeteries in Michigan, Ohio, New York State, and throughout New England. Thank you, thank you to all those who have created memorials and added photos and information for my family members in faraway states.

Although it is not my sole reason for contributing to this site, genealogy is my passion. I love to help others; please contact me for more information about any of my primary families of research. I have volumes. Literally.

Packard, Beal, Ford, and Everett in Michigan, New York State, and Massachusetts.

Rudisill and Miller in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.

Rushmore in New York State and Long Island, also in Michigan.

Allard, Ray, Tracy, and Bingham in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Cloyd, Woodmansee, Mutchner, and Swihart in Ohio. Also Mutchner in Maryland and Cloyd in Virginia.

Wolnowski, Kwiatkowsky, Wilkewitz, Kummer, Wobbrock, and Jaffke in Detroit, Michigan and Prussia/Germany.

Kruzynski and Lewandowski in Toledo and Detroit.

Foye, Leach, Casson, and McVey in Brooklyn, NYC.

Practically everyone in Massachusetts and Connecticut pre-1800.

Hi!

I posted a photo of his stone. It's not a very good one, I'll admit, but it's better than nothing I guess. I can't dig them up anymore. He's right next to his wife Louisa--her stone is fine.

Hope all is well with you, and I wish I could have done better on his photo.

Take care!

Packard Autographs
Hello,
I have an autograph book given by George Prescott Packard to a grandchild. It also has the autograph of George's father George Adams Packard (#68900162) who signed the book the year he died. Do you know anyone who would appreciate having this book?

Rhonda, Findagrave member
Do you know if Rhonda is still active? I noticed your posts to her in mid-1212. She has a memorial that I need, so I wonder what is going on with her work on Find a Grave. Thanks for any input.

Packard family info
I assume that you are related to Randall Packard (buried in Kent County, Michigan) and his wife Mary REED Packard. I just sent you biographical data regarding Mary and her family (the Reeds). Her three brothers, John R., Thomas Law, and Samuel L. Reed ended up in California and in the late 1870s were jointly dry farming about 72,000 acres of wheat in Fresno county, CA. If you wish, you can read the very interesting bios of her brothers through the link I sent you for her mother who died and is buried in Reedley, CA.

RE: Alice Cleveland
I really appreciate the offer, but you don't have to. I just wanted to update her memorial with a picture I had. Thank you though :)
