I have been interested in genealogy for almost 40 years, starting with just wanting to know my ancestors' names and the years of their birth and death. It progresses from there, until finally, you want to know as much about your ancestors as possible. That includes knowing where their final resting place is so that you can complete their life story. I feel this spot is a very special place; either it is where they were when they died, or it is a place that meant something to them. It is a place to reflect on who that person was, and what they have passed down and shared with you. While some of your ancestors are nearer and dearer to your heart and don't require a special place to bring them to mind, others are not as well known, and being able to know and see where they are helps. Thank you, Find A Grave and all the wonderful volunteers, for helping people to connect! | |

Elmina is my husband's GGG grandmother. He descends from Charles Francis Winslow, Hattie Caroline Winslow Nethery, Helen Elizabeth Nethery Winningham, Helen Lois Winningham Wilson Kachele. I noticed that you do not have Charles as a child of Elmina. Numerous documents show him as a child. Wondered if you have some additional information that you can share. Thanks so much.

Thank you! I put her in the Bucyrus Cemetery, OH. Findagrave had entries for two Bucyrus Cemeteries. Did I put her in the right one?

| RE: Elizabeth Failor
This is your request:
Elizabeth Failor
Is Elizabeth Myers Failor # 41466847 a direct ancestor of yours? If not, could you transfer her to me, or is it possible to link her to her son, my GGgrandfather, Samuel Failor # 52544507?
I would link Samuel to his mother but the child links have to be made through the child. Contact the person who put in Samuel Failor # 52544507 and ask them to link to his mother Elizabeth Myers Failor # 41466847
I did put a link on Elizabeth Myers Failor's memorial to her son but it is only a one way link. The other link will be a two-way link.

 | RE: Barna memorials
Amy, no problem! I'm very glad to help others in their research. That is the main reason I do this. Let me know if I can do anything else for you. Pam | | | jerseygirl
| RE: Andrew and Anna Barna
Hi Amy, I am transferring their memorials to you, and I have put them in my virtual cemetary, so don't worry about that. Their daughter, Anna married Jack Wahl, who is directly related to my grandmother on my father's side. I can transfer Andrew and Anna's other kids to your care if you would like, but I want to keep Anna Barna Wahl's memorial. Let me know. Pam | | | Kat

find a grave uses Saint spelled out, not abbreviated. If you move them to the one spelled Saint, I'll put in a correction for the Mary partAdded by Kat on Sep 17, 2011 3:00 AM | | | | [View all messages...] |
