Requests to other editors:
All Messages and requests to me should be civil and polite. No sarcasm please!
Please use the EDIT function on a memorial for all messages, requests, etc. concerning that memorial.
Biographical information and obituaries should not be included in a virtual flower.
If you know the places of birth and death, why don't you fill them in at the top of the memorial. It's not that hard. Go the extra mile!
Think outside the box.
Please let me know about any corrections or links. If you find any errors or incomplete birth and death dates in my postings, contact me through the EDIT-button at the right top of the memorial. I'd be happy to make the corrections, links and additions.
Please do not ask me to add unsubstantiated / unsourced claims that the person is related in some way to a famous person.
If you ask me to add info from the photo of a grave marker, especially an old one, please give me the exact dates, etc., that you want added, so that I am spared having to try to decipher the marker.
Transfer requests should be individual and specific and s I am flexible on your connection to the person and will make transfers outside the guidelines if you have added or will add material to the memorial. I am disappointed when I do make a transfer and the transferee does nothing to improve the memorial.
In the case of competing requests for a transfer, I will use the guidelines.

Historian and genealogist.
I have been doing genealogy on both sides of the Atlantic for over 27 years. My work on Find A Grave is NOT a hobby, but a service to others.
I majored in history at Duke, did graduate work in history at the Univ. of South Carolina, graduated from the Univ. of Florida Law School and practiced law for 30 years, much of it in the land title industry. I have an EFM certificate from the School of Theology, University of the South.
All Saints Cemetery in Jensen Beach is close to my heart since my family plot is there, I've belonged to All Saints Church for many years and I live nearby.
Through my mother, I am a ninth generation member of the Weybright (sometimes spelled Waybright) Family in America, a member of the First Families of Ohio and a direct descendant of Capt. Martin Weybright III, of the Lancaster County (PA.) Militia. who is on the DAR patriots list and paradoxically was a member of the pacifist German Baptist Brethren (Church of the Brethren). His father, Martin II and grandparents, Martin I and Margaretha, had arrived in Philadelphia in 1730 from Germany aboard the ship Loyal Judith and settled in Lancaster.
My grandfather, W E Durr, M.D. practiced in Glencoe, Ohio, from after World War I until his death in 1947. In the course of his practice, he delivered many babies, including my mother and one of my brothers. I have over 1,300 of his Physician's Birth Records, but my records are incomplete.
Through my great grandfather, Cornelius "Neal" Rice (1844-1933), I am a member of Civil War Families of Ohio. During Sherman's March to the Sea, he was captured at Irwin's Crossroads, taken to the county jail in Sandersville and then to the county jail in Milledgeville, then the state capital. He escaped from the jail and walked home to Greenville, Ohio.
Through my father, I am a first generation American and a dual citizen of the USA and the Republic of Ireland.
