Our family has gone through a recent job change and cross country move. We're in temporary housing right now with really poor internet connection. Response time may be slower than usual at the moment, but feel free to drop me a note anyway.
I'm a collector of many hobbies including genealogy, geocaching, knitting, babywearing, home production of everyday items, and outdoor survival. Due to my tendency to shift hobby focus often, I may take long breaks from graving, but I always respond to messages. Do you think we might have a cousin in common? Let me know!
Do you have a relative whose memorial I have added? Please let me know and I will transfer them to you right away. I live far from any of the places where my family was buried, so I generally am not related to any of the memorials that I have created. I would much rather their memorials be managed by their family.
A note about my photos:
While I respect the decision by others to copyright their volunteer photos and restrict the distribution of their work, I do not copyright my pictures. Any photos that I submit of headstones are free for anyone to use. You may upload them to any webpage you wish, paid or otherwise. You may also publish them freely on your webpages and family history books. You may credit me if you wish (send me a message for my real name), but it is unnecessary.
My primary reason for this is that I am mainly taking pictures of headstones of people who are not in my family. I do this as a gift to those who cannot travel to visit these headstones in person.
Second, I am not a professional photographer; I am not even a good photographer. Despite the shortcomings of my work, I am submitting these photos online because I feel that a bad photo is better than no photo at all. Also many of the headstones are getting so weathered that I very well may be the last person to be able to read the text. On that subject, I will not be offended if you wish to replace any of my photos with a better one.
PLEASE don't use shaving cream on markers! Here is why: http://ncptt.nps.gov/2009/shaving-creamgenealogists-friend-or-cemetery-conservators-foe/
