Permission is freely given to copy photos uploaded by me at Findagrave. (Giving credit would be nice!) If you wish to ADD or EDIT biographical data on a page maintained by me, PLEASE USE THE EDIT TAB on the upper right side of each person's memorial page. Registration on Findagrave is first required, and is free. I try to check this site a couple of times a week. Be patient if I don't get to your edit request ASAP.

MANY thanks to our splendid hosts at Findagrave! (now owned by Ancestry.com) Findagrave enabled the option of "linking" memorial pages (a son or daughter linking to a parent's page) years after I uploaded my early grave data. If you find people not yet linked to their parents, use the EDIT button to notify me.

I am an avid family historian and Findagrave has been terrific in helping me locate ancestors. I believe in giving back, and often share research about someone's ancestor to Findagrave. Or someone who is not a member of Findagrave may have emailed me info/photos of their family requesting I create a memorial on their behalf. And when traveling, I might snap photos of graves near my family's tombstones (while wondering if those folks were friends/neighbors long ago). So no, I am NOT RELATED to most of those dearly departed whose pages I've set up. Here's hoping my research helps others, as I have certainly benefited from the generous work of genealogists and local historians.
