Bio

*** South Attica Cemetery - I have a TON of research on all of the families there (20 years worth of it). I have many projects going on at once, so if I don't have "complete" info posted, feel free to contact me. I'm hoping by winter 2014-2015 to have all of the pertinent info and small biographies entered in.

**My photos: Anything I upload here that is obvious I photographed I don't expect to claim copyright, I'm offering them here for anyone to use for their genealogy, credit is nice but not required (I use a screen name here to be easily identified from the rest). If high resolution photos are needed or alternate views, I'll send them if I have them. I have used a variety of cameras for 20 years, so the quality of my photos vary as well. I do take artsy photos as well as documentary (not sure if I'm allowed to post where I share those here or not, but it's in FB sharing group Angels To Watch Over Us).

Been researching my own family actively for 20 years but got my start as a toddler when my parents and grandparents were doing it. I started to research locally to earn money to pay for the cost of researching my own. In the process I collected quite the library of my own. Now I just look things up if I know I have the info or point in the right direction because I'm now documenting all "threatened" items locally and in my family before they are gone to this tear-it-down attitude, vandalizm or weather takes its toll. I feel that we are the keepers of the past, keepers of history, so it'll be there for generations to come. In 20 years I have seen headstones vanish, collections burn, houses be torn down or remodeled past their original state. I feel I'm too young to say "I remember". Now I take photos and lots of them. This way if it disappears for whatever reason, I can say "I have proof it existed".
