Bio

If you live in the same city that you are asking for someone to get a photo of a headstone you are looking for, you should be ashamed! I've seen several people on here do that and they are much younger than I am.

Bio.

Hi, I live on Maryland's Eastern Shore. I love history and doing my genealogy. I am looking for these surnames and more to come: Dodd, St. Laurent, L'Italien, Skaggs, Kennedy, Mahan, Hunter, Blaker, White, Buchner, Morris, Young, et. al.

DEAR ANCESTOR,
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.
