Bio and Links
Bio Photo I got the genealogy bug when my great-aunt's grandson sent me a photo of my 2nd great-grandparents on their 50th wedding anniversary with the entire family. Only 4 people in the photo were identified. Since that time I have contacted relatives I did not know I had. I have also been able to identify everyone in the photo now. I have done research not only on my surname but grandparents, 2nd great-grandparents on both sides. I especially love doing research on my mother's parents because Parke County has a great website. I am at a stand-still on my own surname as I don't know exactly where in Prussia my 2nd great-grandfather was born. I always love to get in contact with new "cousins".

Stover
Sorry - should have looked closer before sending the request. I see Antoinette Stover's photos are already posted to Ancestry, but without source. I will add source info, but would also like to know if it's OK to post any of your other photos I come across for this family (that aren't already posted, haha!).
Thanks,
Sue

Thank you for posting the photos for Antoinette Williams-Stover (#37852048). Would it be OK with you if I post your photos, with credit, to my Ancestry.com family tree? (As well as any other Find A Grave photos of yours I come across as I continue to research this family?)
Thanks for all you do on Find A Grave. You're an inspiration!

William F. Parent
I found the record of funeral for William F. Parent. His DOD is June 2, 1942. At the time of death he is listed as 86 yrs 3 mos 16 days. Thought you might like to add this to his find-a-grave record.

Henry A. McCarthy
Jim,
Please remove Henry "McCarthy" from the DeLong Cemetery in Tom Green Co, TX. First off, you have his family name spelled incorrectly and the correct information is already in the cemetery listing.

RE: Charles Robert Black
My husband passed away in 2010...but he knew very little about his family. None of the names you mentioned ring a bell. Good luck in your search.

RE: James Harry Uselman
OK, will figure him out when I come home and send you what I find....sometimes I ask these people just where did they get their information and they can't tell me, duh. I see he is picked up on the first census record as James, his second census with the family he is Harry H....as I mentioned, will be bringing in birth, death, and marriages when I'm home. Along with wills, and probates. I have in my hands the pension record so have to go by that until I find out otherwise.

BTW, what would be good timing in going to Parke County Court House? Too, the library? Also, is the birth and death records there at the Court House or are they somewhere else like you have to go to the Annex in Terre Haute (?).

Am in need of good suggestions on how to find things there in Parke! Getting excited in coming home. Warm hugs, Dottie

RE: charley edgar uselman
I can't really collaborate with what you have as I only showed him with five children. As I mentioned; coming home in June to follow up with what I had found earlier on my family and collect further information.

So Jim, where do you fit on the Uselman family tree?
Have a nice day and will chat with you later, Dottie
