I have been researching my family for over 45 years. It was slow going at first. Then came the computer and things got faster. Then came Find-A-Grave and doors opened. I have accomplished more in the last 10 years than before. After seeing how FAG helped me, I think it is important to record all cemetery records. Not just for the genealogy benefit, but also history. As one said, the headstones will wear, but the on line record will serve the test of time. I'm amazed how fast FAG is growing. I will create a memorial; go to create another and record numbers will have increased 30 or 40 in just a few minutes. I have heard folks say some are just entering memorials for the numbers. I disagree with that because the more we do; the faster the information is available.
First, I would like to thank all contributors that have helped me with my family records. With your help I now have over 6,000 names in my tree. I feel real blessed for your help.
I read somewhere, "If you don't have time to do it right…. When will you have time to do it over?" We are all trying to honor those who came before us, so let's do it right. If you find a mistake in my records, or just want me to add information, please use the "edit" tab so I'll find the record quicker.
I grew up in the Virginia Tidewater area and have since moved west and now in the Tri City, Virginia area. If I can be of help, please let me know.
"Life should not be just a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming woo hoo what a ride!"
Thanks for the visit. | |

I've updated his memorial & clarified "Petersburg C.S.H." as it could be confused by someone today as Central State Hospital instead of Confederate States Hospital. Thanks very much for the information!

Thank you so much for getting the grave stone photos of my aunt and uncle, and also sending me the info on his first name. I wasn't aware of Uncle Eastman's first name nor did I have his birth and death dates so this was a huge help for me and my memorial. He married my aunt and died before I could learn much about him other than he was a jolly uncle and everyone loved him. Thanks so much again. You helped me before with photos.Added by Hettie on May 17, 2013 3:25 PM | | | Hettie

Goldeneagle,
I'm sorry, I don't know anything about it myself. I stumbled upon it while searching for an Indiana soldier that is listed as being buried there. I just found out about it myself yesterday. Thanks,

Thank you so much for getting the headstone photos for me. It is much appreciated as I live in FL and really didn't have plans to get that far north!
Kindest Regards,
