Photo of Wolfe's Angel. At one time this marble statue stood outside the Ashevile Shop of W.O. Wolfe inspiring the title for son Thomas Wolfe's book 'Look Homeward Angel.'

I live in Buncombe Co., NC and have been doing family research for about 25 years. My lines are Sorrells & Sales. I especially enjoy taking tombstone pictures and knowing I am preserving a part of the past. I have to use a backpack of oxygen to help me get through the cemeterys. (Renal & lung cancer survivor.) I will continue on until it becomes impossible.

I do post death certificates. This is my way of 'sourcing' my memorials They can be rich in facts. but be cautious as they can also have wrong dates and information. Most that I find are correct but always be your own researcher.

And please don't be one of the folks who sit at their computers and add a name and birth and death year from some compiled records. Get out, take pictures, be active in the cemetery. When you see cemeteries that are only 50% photographed with a couple of hundreds stones you wonder why they only did half the job.

Please, please be sure to check you Edits tab. (Home page, 3rd tab on right) Its as very importnt part of this site.

Blessings to you in your research and life.
