Bio and Links
Bio Photo I am researching the different branches of my family tree. Maternal Rose, Kuhns, Drylie, Muse, & Silvis. Paternal any descendants or ancestors Of Christian & Charlotte King and Isaac and Emma Conover & John and Rebecca Wallace. I have traced some of these lines back to England, Germany, Scotland, Ireland as far back as 1410. I became a grave hunter when a family story led me on a search for the grave of a child who was born in 1884 and died in 1888 between census records, the church where he was baptized burned losing all records, there was not mandatory birth registration so there was no proof he ever existed. I have now been involved in a tombstone project photographing entire cemeteries in my area. My 2 friends and I have photographed 76 cemeteries in Allegheny, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland Counties in Pennsylvania however getting them all uploaded to Find A Grave has proven to be a very long and slow process so if anyone out there is looking for someone who could be buried in this area please don't be afraid to ask it is possible one of us already has a photo. For anyone out there doing the same thing--- THANK YOU.

Kathi--Thanks for transferring my 3rd great grandmother Frances Schmidt Waugaman to me. I appreciate all the work involved with photographing graves in your area for upload to FindaGrave. Without your efforts, I wouldn't know where many of my ancestors are buried. Always grateful to you and others for this work. Pam Sagely

Wonderful. Thank you so much for providing translations. I enter as "Unknown" when I cannot find a translation, hoping that someone just like you will come along and provide the name. Thanks Kathi, Lynn
