I'm a genealogy nut. The Family Tree Maker was the first program I purchased when I got a computer. I have been working on my family tree for about 15 years now. Part of genealogy is of course, photos of headstones. I must say, my relatives thought it a bit odd that I was always after them for photo's of headstones. I have a large family that is spread throughout the United States, and the only way to get a photo was through someone else's kindness. I came across this web site while searching the web for a Uncle, his name popped up on findagrave. Not even his children knew what had happened to him. Nobody had heard from him in years. I put in a request for a photo of his headstone and within two days some one had fulfilled that request….WOW…. I was able to let my cousins know where their Dad was and show them a picture of his headstone…. Right then and there I decided I needed to share all the information that I had gathered through the years about the resting places of my relatives and ancestors. I was really touched, that a stranger would take the time to do a favor for someone they didn't even know. I was able to fill a request for someone the very next week. I try to keep a watch for requests of cemeteries close to my home. | |

Jerry was my cousin. Would you consider transferring his record to my management? I am attempting to compile my family history into one location.
Thank you for the work you have done on Jerry's file
Sincerely

 | RE: Your Aunt
Thank you. There are very few women like my great-aunt, especially that lived through the derpression, and she was tha tway with anyine that needs a helping hand, even thought she only earned $.50 a day, picking chicken feather off of dead chicken. I reamember going to her house in the 50's and she she would leave me enough money to go to the movies while she worked, even though I knew that she needed the money for her bills and food. Sometimes I went and sometimes I didn't. She would leaveme a hugh bowl of the best pop corn ever , that she grew her self. I remember that we could sit outside and shuck the pop corn off its cob, and sometimes we would get blisters, but it was worth it , because even today the pop corn will never be as good as hers.If I feel in a bad sorts, all that I have to do is think about her. Some people are not lucky enough to have someone in their lives like her. Poor, others considered us poor, but with her I felt very rich, because no amount of money could have filled my life the way that she did. I was really blessed to have her in my life.
God bless, take care, and keep well and safe. | | | Dalene Worthington

I should have thanked you years ago, for what you put on my great-aunts site. It was really beautiful what you put on it.I wish that I could take the time every minute of the day to send something to her. I really miss her for some reason, I really missed her today. So, I took the time to read what others had put on her site, and what you wrote, I am sure that my aunt was grateful for what you put on it. She was more like a grandmother to me than a great-aunt. She was a wonder person.I wish that the person that has her site would have transferred her to me, but she won't. I don't know if that person ever transfers anyone from her site. But, I don't really have to have her site, because my aunt misses me as much as I miss her, and she loves me as much as I love her, and not having her sight makes no differents in those matters. Love isn't owning a site, it is what is in the person that loves her. It is the many happy memories that we shared together. It was the quiet star filled shy and the glide swing that we sat on after the dinner dishes were put away. Someone else may have her site, but I had the real thing, I had her to love and to love me back. And being able to leave little messages on here for her makes me feel alittle better, because I feel as if I am talking right to her. There are very few people in the world like my aunt was. We could sure use a million and then some in this world today. To have had her in my life, I feel so very blessed. So, thank you for the kind words to her. God bless, take care , and keep safe and well. | | | Lorraine Flores

Hi Donald Duck,
Is the photo of you Carol? If so, You look just like my sister.
Thanks for sharing this web site. I too belong to Find A Grave but always forget to come here. Last year was looking for my husbands brother that was killed in WWII and no one had ever seen the place where he was buried and Find A Grave found for me. This is an awesome site to come to and hope I don't forget about it. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

 | RE: Chester Andrew Orr at RNC
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
I just started fulfilling findagrave photo requests to pay back some of the favors that I have received and then just kept going. And it's kind of fun sometimes.
