I have been tracing my family tree since 1980 and am currently researching my Affelder and Zugsmith relatives, with a focus on Germany, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York. My FaG image is a photo of my father's headstone in Chesterton, Indiana. He was a radio engineer, a telegrapher and ham radio enthusiast. The face on the memorial bears a slight resemblance to him, but the gargoyle figure and pyramid topper are both a whimsy of the talented sculptor who created the monument. You may notice that I sponsored many of my family's memorials. This was done with love, and because I hated those pesky ads on the "old" FaG site. If you wish to update information on a particular memorial, please contact the member who maintains the memorial. Even though I sponsor the memorial, I do not have any more control over the content than you do. When asking for corrections or transfers, please request thru the memorial link. If I have created a memorial for someone in your family, I will certainly consider transferring it to you! When requesting a transfer, your FaG number would be appreciated. Give me a month or more to comply or reply.
