I manage~~not own~~the memorials I place on FindaGrave. Please use the SAC (edit feature) when asking for changes. This prevents mistakes because the edit feature connects me to the right memorial. Please read this ★ ☆ ★ FAQs ★ ☆ ★ before you intentionally make a duplicate of a memorial (which is a no no): I do transfer out of guidelines a lot if I feel you will maintain the memorial you request better than I can ~ which means a beloved aunt, cousin, best friend, etc. (Just don't ask for a whole cemetery or a whole list of the same name especially if you happened to find this site and have been a member for a few days). Stick around for awhile - contribute. Although a great place for genealogy this is a GRAVES REGISTRATION SITE!

Permission has been given to GenealogyTrails.com to use my photos for their excellent site.
YES - you have permission to use the photos I took for your personal family files. I would appreciate it if you cited where you found the photo and if possible link back to FindAGrave.com.
However unless you are a nonprofit organization, this is not to be copied & pasted on a commercial site like Ancestry. They charge a lot of money for their services and should not take advantage of volunteer work.

I love to have additional information to add to the memorials. In winter I go through what I have put up and link families, find additional dates, etc. Although it looks like I have more than I can handle, I have had no problem adding suggested information.
★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆
If you are requesting a photo - all information is helpful. Many people only have flat to the ground memorials, and they are difficult to find. If you know of other family names that might be close by, that is very helpful in large cemeteries. Also if your memorial served in the military, that is very helpful as most cemeteries commemorate with a flag.

I love the challenge of photographing really old stones. I also love the zincs - which were an inexpensive product for the time but have outlasted some of the more expensive marbles and granites. The zincs were very popular during the Prohibition Era because the insides were hollow and easily accessible.

The people we ~meet~ in these resting places are integral in putting together family history. The memorial may be all that is left.
★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆
I have 35 years of experience in family history research and will be happy to add links or more biographical information on your family.
★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆
Thank you to all the volunteers who have added photos to my memorials, taken the time to send me information, added their own memorials, found a dupe or two, and have been kind and respectful.
★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆
It is so important that if you have an old cemetery near you, to get these stones recorded before weather and/or vandals get to them.
★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★★ ☆
I do try to wipe off debris and pull some overgrown grass out of the way, but I will not harm the stone in any way. Plus I do not pull up flowers, even if they are wilted.
★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
It's a bit of work to take the photos, re size and sometimes enhance the lettering to be made readable, enter names and upload the photos. I do this lovingly. Please respect that.
★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
I have a camera that takes good photos,however the condition of the stone may make it unreadable or the stone is so damaged that there is no information. Bright sunny days might be good for walks but can wash out headstone inscriptions. I do retakes a lot.

 | Allen Family
Hello, I saw a posting from you concerning a member of the Allen family on Karen Crisman's site. I am guessing we are distant cousins, my family also feeds up into the Allens. You wouldn't happen to have more information onthe Allen Family would you? I dont have a lot, my tree ends at Alfonzo. I am always looking for more infom and photos of th family. | | | Karen Crisman
 | RE: Elijah Allen
The Elijah Allen born in 1824 died 1900 is the son of Ira Alonzo Allen and Elizabeth Potter in my family tree. He and Susan St. Ores (or in some cases spelled St. O'Rees), She was born in 1828. They had a daughter Ida and 8 other children. Ida had two children. One born out of wedlock was Clarence Allen 1883-1953 (MY GRANDFATHER) Ida married a Mr. Clark and had another son She then married Mr.F.O. Anderson and had no more children. She died in Thomson, Illinois. Her information is in find a grave under her name as is Clarence's. Yes we probably are related. | | | Judy Ragan
| George W Eaton
Find A Grave burial in West Cemetery in Plainville, CT has a marker for George W. Eaton and most of the Eatons in that same cemetery are his relatives. I am helping a lady in our genealogy group try to find George's parents which I have not been able to find any family trees or records devulging that info. Are you part of his family or have you researched this family to know anything about his parentage? Thank you for any assistance you may have. Judy Ragan | | | Gale Cottrell
| Cottrell's in West Cemetery
I have just added my husbands parents, sister and her two children and realize that you have his grandparents and great grandfather, plus his great aunt. Would you consider transferring them to us? Their numbers are: 46142969, Carroll Thomas Cottrell & 46142970, Anna Maria Huber Cottrell; 47147653, Learned Mortimer Cottrell and 47355027, Nellie Laura Cottrell. | | | missi
| Valmore Gaudreau
I took the photo of the stone for Valmore Gaudreau and added his wife Gladys Young (1913-1999)and linked them. Let me know if you would like a transfer of ownership. They appear to be in the Young family plot and I took photos of all of the surrounding stones but it was getting dark and some of the photos did not come out as clear. If you are interested in adding the family I can send you the photos I took and take some better ones of the few that aren't real clear. Many of the stones included relationship memos!
Thanks,

 | Ella Osborn
Hello C.,
Not all that long ago you transferred Find A Grave Memorial# 52542417 to me. I subsequently requested a head stone photo and the volunteer has informed me that the cemetery office has no record of Ella's burial.
If you can recall, would you kindly share with me how you came upon the burial info for Ella? I'd appreciate that, and thank you in advance for your reply.
Respectfully,

Old East Street Cemetery, Plainville, CT
is it possible for somebody to please visit the grave again and dig around the base of it, and see if we can figure out what it says?
I have all of the info on the family, i just need to see who her spouse is so we can identify which "Hannah Root" she is.
Thank yoU!Added by Brett on Apr 30, 2013 9:05 PM | | | Nancy Letalien
