Bio and Links
Bio Photo I'm married, have 4 children age 23-12. My 2 main hobbies are photography (since I was a small child) and collecting postcards (since I was a teenager). And now genealogy since I've been an adult. I have also enjoyed walking cemeteries, even as a kid, to see who could find the oldest headstone. What else do kids do in small towns?...strange game as a child but as an adult, great history can come from it.

Regarding the rules of volunteer photographer for Find a Grave, if you find a photo which I have posted, and you want it of your loved one, just let me know. Currently I've been doing a lot of investigation on Ancestry.com for my family's roots. Has been very rewarding and because of Ancestry.com, I came to find FIND A GRAVE. I'm grateful to them, for I have found some people here who are cousins..and some of them are on A.com. We are working together for connections for all our trees. FIND A GRAVE was just a great link in bringing us all together. Thanks, Find a Grave.

Hi again, Janet

My Felton's are from my grandmother Minnie Swearengin, her father was Ripley V. Felton, they lived in Webster & Greene Counties,I'm in Republic, most of my family are in the Brookline and Harrington cemeteries.
About the picture, if you want to add it yourself that's alright with me.

RE: Minnie & Bruce Swearengin
Hi Janet,

If you have a better picture, that would be great, I appreciate you asking, the photo on there now is not that clear.
Thanks for watching out for more Swearengin headstones, I appreciate all the help I can get.

What family are you looking for? maybe I'll come across some of your family, I am in Greene county, Mo. close to Springfield.

Thanks again, hope to stay in touch.
Sincerely
Beverly

RE: Minnie & Bruce Swearengin
Hello,

Nice of you to ask, I would love to have any photos you want to send, are you by any chance related to Minnie or Bruce Swearengin? they are my grandparents.

Thank you so much for your kind offer, I do
appreciate your help, looking forward to hearing from you again.

Sincerely
Beverly Baldwin

Greetings,

Find A Grave contributor janetw has made a suggestion to you regarding your Find A Grave memorial for Bessie Kennell.
Link to memorial: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=75642884
Link to contributor profile: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=mr&MRid=47287038
Email address of contributor: janet1964w@yahoo.com

Their suggestion:
-------------------------
Please note that I have added photos for Bessie L. Kennell and her husband Edward F. Kennell. Please connect them as h/w. Thanks. I am not related to these folks.


If the monument does not list as husband wife, or married date I will NOT link them as married. Please do not ask me to do so. Thank You.

turner cem.
you sent me a SAC to connect a couple as husband and wife and stated you are not related to them. please do not fall into the trap of assuming people are married. I checked the photo and I did not see any place on the monument that indicated they were married. sometimes sister, and brother on stones, or other combos like father and child, or mother and child. I have seen an Uncle buried beside a female with the same name. without proof I will not connect people as spouses.

Winder's daughter
Look at Elizabeth Howard McCraw 7348126. The bio claims Winder is her dad. Look also, at #'s
66950743
7347498
7347496
9922526
9922570

These are a few in the McCraw Cemetery I've isolated as related. I'm sure there are more, I just haven't done all the research yet.

Winder Kenner
You said you could not find his tombstone. Look first on his Memorial # 7347490. It tells you where to look.
