Bio and Links
Bio Photo I am a native of Abilene, Texas and grew up and currently live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. I married my high school sweetheart and we will celebrate 28 years of wedded bliss this year. We have one son who is 26 years old.

My Great-Aunt was a professional genealogist, and I can remember sitting and listening to the family lore. I have always been interested in family history and have always been fascinated by cemeteries. Like many of my fellow stone-seekers, I, too, was ridiculed by childhood friends because I wanted to cut through the cemetery, not walk around it! I have been actively researching our family histories for 20 years.

My darling husband is always willing to help with a transcription project, and we tend to plan our vacation routes so that we can visit a few cemeteries.

I would like to dedicate my work at Find A Grave to the memory of my great-aunt, Lula Raye Hudson Mundy and to the memory of my grandmother, IvaLee McCrary Pitts. It is from these two wonderful women that I inherited the passion for family history and a deep respect for our ancestors.

NOTE: 22 March 2012 - Life has been hectic recently and I am behind in making requested changes. To date I still have 25 open requests dating as far back as mid December 2011. Please bear with me as I continue to work on catching up!

No, I am not related. I just walked the cemeteries and transcribed the headstones and such. If you want a transfer, don't hesitate to ask. As many as you want.
Thanks,
June

RE: Jasper & Rachel Patterson - Midway Cem
Thanks a bunch Shelly! Jasper and Rachel's daughter, Bessie, married my great grandfather Crew. FYI, you can get most of these death certificates for free on familysearch.org. (I noticed you added some information to Rachel's page from her death certificate you found on fold3. Both are wonderful sites but all the information is free on familysearch.)Thanks again!
