Bio and Links
Bio Photo Hi, my husband (Steve Patterson) and I are interested in our genealogy histories and enjoy the "detective process" of finding our ancestors. After unexpectedly finding images of my great-grandparents' tombstones on the web, I was thrilled - I'd never seen their tombstones before. This helped us to realize that documenting cemeteries on the web is a wonderful way to help other genealogists find their relatives. We enjoy this tremendously and have started planning our vacations around which cemeteries we want to visit.

I am leaning on the tombstone of Alpheus Osborn, my great-great-great grandfather who lived in Fairfax, Iowa.

If you are a close relation to any people that we have listed and would like us to transfer the memorial to you, please let us know. Be sure to include the CEMETERY NAME where they are located and your FAG MEMBERSHIP NUMBER!

Family names that we are interested in are:
Missouri, Polk County: McDaniel, Phipps.
Kansas, Cowley, Sedgwick, Sumner Counties: Kessinger, Cooper, Green, Brenton, Wilsey, Osborn.
Kansas, Rice County: Greenbank, Crawford, Wilsey.

Question
Hi Cathy!

When you put: Note: 1884 Addition, in a memorial, what does this mean?

Thank you so much for the transfer. I'm an Adler through and through - both my maternal and paternal grandparents are Adler. They are on the same family line, linked closely, to the Adlers in both Nebraska and Colorado. Some of the Adlers in Find A Grave are mixed up, and it's a real problem getting them in the right place. This is going to take me awhile, and your transfer is a very small start - but it helps. Thank you...

You are very welcome Cathy. It's a nice drive from our house down to Belle Plaine and the cemetery is on the same street as an Arboretum so it makes it a scenic drive.
