VOTE AUGUST 13TH, 2024

I am a sixth generation resident of the Waunakee vicinity. I am a member of Saint Mary of the Lake Catholic Parish in the town of Westport and a trustee on the Waunakee Village Board. I can generally help with information at St. John's and St. Mary of the Lake parishes/cemeteries. I do not photograph a stone after a burial until the date of death is engraved in the stone or approximately three months have gone by since the date of death. If you have any suggestions, memorial transfers, additional information, or concerns, please don't hesitate to send me a message. Please submit general edits using the edit tab on individual memorials. When I photograph a cemetery, I first transcribe all of the photos I have taken. I then go back and edit the new memorials to add relatives. For my Waunakee/Dane memorials, I try and add a short biography if possible on what they did for our town during their life. Most of my photography activity and Findagrave use is between December and February, as well as between May and September.

You may use my photos for NON-COMMERCIAL purposes (as I want my photos to be universally available for folks with roots here for family trees), but please credit - Photo by Sam Kaufmann - Find A Grave Contributor #49294344. In addition, if you find a photo on F.A.G. where I forgot to upload it to a memorial but the name is on the stone and photo is on spouse's memorial, you may upload it yourself, but please give credit to me in the description. Thank you!
