Dear Mr Hardy,
I was intrigued to see a photo of John Hardy's grave on the website, as this man was my Grand Uncle.
Born in Dublin (Ireland) he was one of five children four boys, one girl.
I would be interested to know if you feel that you may be related to him, and by extension to me!
Thank you,

RE: HARDYs
Hi Terry,

I am not related to the Hardy/Hardie family. I just try to get as many graves on to the site that I can so that people can have a memorial for their loved one or for ancestry research.

Hi Terry, I noticed you left a personal note on the Find A Grave page for Carolyn Jean Edwards. Do you happen to know if her husband Robert's parents names were Cleo and Florence Edwards? Or could possibly check and find out?

I am a cousin of Florence and was trying to fill in some blanks in the genealogy and had found they had a son Robert who lived in Carlisle. Just wanted to see if I could confirm that he was their son or not.

Sincerely yours

Blake McCauley

I want to apologize for offending you on the duplicate memorial. It was not my intention to order anyone to change anything or delete anything. I will be more careful on what I say to people.
Kenneth as my friend's Father, & she had caught the duplicate memorials & ask if I could fix them.
Thank You for pointing out that the first memorial was posted before he had passed away.
It's volunteers like yourself that make find a grave such a great site for ancestry research.
I want to thank you for all you do, both on find a grave & your professional life.
I have addition information on the Asher family, will send it threw edit on the memorial page.
