Bio and Links
Bio Photo I am in the process of photo-documenting Sts. Peter & Paul cemetery in St. Louis. IF I HAVE POSSESSION OF A GRAVE OF YOUR FRIEND OR RELATIVE, I AM HAPPY TO TRANSFER THE GRAVE TO YOU. PLEASE USE THE "EDIT/SEND A CORRECTION" LINKS AND PROVIDE YOUR MEMBER NUMBER (located next to your name on your member page). If you are aware of errors in any of my entries, please let me know.

PLEASE NOTE: Because I receive a lot of email, I typically do not reply when sent an edit - just check back in a couple days and you should see it. I usually make edits within a couple days. If it has been over a week, please resend as I may not have received it.

In addition to adding my family, I enter other graves. I am always happy to transfer a grave to a family member, or to update the grave as requested.

Families I am researching for my family include Mueth, Heidenfelder, Bockius, Buehler, Danneman, Frank/Franck, Freymyer, Meurer and Zieger--primarily found in the U.S. in St. Louis and Southern Illinois.

On my husband's side, I am researching Torrence, Findley, Watt, Comstock, Peterson, Norton, Brown, Bieth, Sentman, Ritchie and Sixbury--from all over the Northeast.
___________________________
Copied from another member's site:
I think it is a real shame what findagrave has evolved into. What started as a noble way to link people with graves of loved ones they could never hope to see, and with the generations that had preceded them, has turned into a game for some. Memorials have turned into a kind of "trading card", a competition of who can own the most memorials and post the highest numbers. What has been forgotten by many is that these were people, loved in life and death, not a commodity to be traded or owned.
With my apologies to those that have pure motives. I hope there are more of us than there are of them.

RE: Peter Ritchie in GreenWood
By all means, share the research. The page manager can then do the family links.

Thank you for your photo and all your hard work. I made this memorial and many others from obits posted to rootsweb by Mary Stigler. I referenced this on many memorial but didn't include the actual obit. Now I get tons of request for the obits from researchers so I am kind of back tracking and adding them in the bios.
Wish we had more hours in a day.

Thank you for your so very quick response and taking a photo of where Louise Max is put to rest. It is good to know her grave is unmarked. I was so hoping to find out some information.

I appreciate your work Katie! Thank you!

RE: Lizetta Carnon
You are quite welcome. I suspect the reason I didn't attach a photo of the headstone was because it was a bad photo. I normally take a few hundred photos at a time from a cemetery then come home and enter the data here from the photos. Arlene Shuster has claimed the photo request so you should be getting a photo posted soon (she takes good photos).

Take care,

Mona
