Bio

[The following bio was made by ChatGPT to replace my much longer one. It still holds the same information]

I'm a lifelong resident of Georgia, with deep family roots dating back to the early 19th century, particularly associated with "Pickett Branch" in North GA. My family spans various counties, including Fulton, DeKalb, Fayette, Fannin, Spalding, Cherokee, Gilmer, Decatur, Early, Muscogee, Glynn, Clarke, Pike, Bibb, Pickens, and Grady.

Addressing memorial practices, I emphasize avoiding creating memorials for living people and listing someone as "cremated" without burial details. I leave photo requests, and while I've left coins on memorial pages, it doesn't signify a personal connection to military service members.

Do not transfer memorials to me without my express permission. I condone those who hoard memorials for fake internet points.

Thank you to all who have fulfilled one of my photo requests. Note: If any of my photo requests have problems reported that cannot be easily circumvented, the photo request will be deleted.

For memorial transfers, I have specific qualifications, requiring a close familial relationship. Ancestry.com messages or FAG forum messages are the preferred method, and exceptions can be considered. I ask for understanding in processing time. Regarding takedowns, polite requests are more effective. For memorial mergers, I encourage using the Merge Memorial button.

I maintain a list of surnames and welcome contact inquiries through Ancestry with the username "MP_1101," or again, FAG Forums messages, emphasizing the importance of respectful tone. I discourage non-relatives from requesting photo removals, as diversity in memorial photos is valued.

Special thanks to Patricia J. W. Pickett who wrote a complete history of the Pickett Family in 2007 and again in 2019, which has been an excellent source on my family's history and I have printed several copies for preservation.

When creating memorial pages, here are things to know:

Wm is usually an abbreviation for William. Use "William" when Wm is listed in grave records or on a headstone, unless data proves their name is something like Wilbur Michael. Jno is an abbreviation for John. Barely anyone walks this earth with the name "Jno." I know when uploading spreadsheets it can be difficult but try your best.
