| Bio and Links |
Hello ! My name is Pete and I live in Columbus Ohio.
I've been a member of Find-A-Grave for 8+ years now.
Aside from my own family research and documentation, my goal here is to try to help others locate and visit, albeit virtually, the graves of family or friends that they may otherwise never see due to geographical differences, health issues or mobility restrictions.
While there is some satisfaction in fulfilling photo requests from the "bulk uploaders" and "drive-by" photo requesters of the Find-A-Grave community, the greatest gratification for me comes from being able to assist a direct family member or friend of the deceased.
One who actually has a personal ancestral interest in that person, not only in death, but may have also maintained a distinction and privilege of having shared connections with them in life.
I am currently doing photo requests in the central Ohio area. If you need a photo in my area, I'd be glad to attempt to fulfill your requests.
For the most part, I have had fairly good luck in dealing with cemetery personnel in locating and mapping of burials. Most have been great in helping out. A few are not so pleasant to work with. I sometimes sense an attitude from them as if I am putting them out by asking them to do their job. [locate and map grave locations.]
Providing outstanding assistance and cooperation in the area is Mifflin Township Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery - [Mac], Walnut Grove and Flint Cemetery [Tom & Elaine], Union Cemetery - [Joe and Sherry], Dublin Cemetery - [Joanna] and even the biggie in Columbus, Green Lawn Cemetery .
--Help your photo volunteers help YOU !!!--
When making a photo request, you can REALLY play a huge role in getting that picture you want faster by calling the cemetery yourself and obtaining the burial location and include it with your photo request!!
By supplying the grave information, you have helped tremendously by lessening the amount of time a volunteer will have to be on the phone or at the offices of the cemetery.

I like the way you display the graves in the cemetery. With the red arrows and names, clever. Need close up of the face of the marker too. Thanks for showing this..... | | | Todd James Dean
 | RE: Marie R Shapter
Oh ya, please sumitt a photo request in a month or two when the weather is a little better, I will gladly take better pictures or special shots if I get a reminder such as a photo request and many others are racing around doing requests also so it never takes long around here! Thanks again! | | | Todd James Dean
| RE: Marie R Shapter
Excellent, all is well. Deleted doubled mem, sorry about that. I never make doubles on purpose. Use the pictures however you want any time. 30,000 people buried on the hill so many mistakes are going to be made before it's all going correctly. Thanks for your help and all the great work you are doing!!!! | | | Pat
| Harriet Rees Shapter
Harriet was married to a Sharp not a Shapter and I think that is where the problem is.
Thanks!

| Thank you!
Pete, thank you so much for the photo of Susana Walters Nicholas. You gave me so much information, as the stone beside Susana I believe to be that of her sister. I know that particular piece of information will be a big help as I search for those girl's parent. Bless you for your hard work, and for the full dates you show.
Sincerely,

Thank you so much!! You used your valuable time to do this for us and we appreciate it very much indeed. He was a very wealthy man and I thought he would have a large tombstone so was surprised.
THANKS!!! You did a good job. | | | Dorie Olson
