Bio
While I am more than happy to take photos for anyone who needs it done, here in Oklahoma City, Midwest City or Del City, until things calm down in the US I need to back off a bit. If there are any photos you wish to use, please feel free to do without asking permission.
I have completed Section 2 in Sunny Lane Cemetery in Del City, Oklahoma, and have downloaded all of the photos, etc.
My main sources for information are Familysearch.org and a free membership with Ancestry.com, though I tend toward Familysearch.org and FIndagrave.com because they are free and I am on a limited income.
Also, I will NEVER use these photographs for profit! That is not my intention at any time. I simply wish to use these photos to let others, possibly family or good friends, see what I have found and that I have been able to share this with them. I will ALWAYS ask permission first! It's polite and appreciated by the original photographers. I don't know most of the people I have added to this site. I am going off of what is available to me at Familysearch.org or Billiongraves.com.
When I request a photo, regardless of where it may be, please supply the location of it, if it's available to you. Not all cemeteries seem to have the same layout or an office or point of contact available and it would be greatly appreciated. There may be a profile created that has no other information as to the grave location. That is because I do not have it available to me. If you, as a photographer or profile editor, happen to know of a location, a specific location? Please, by all means let me know either through an edit or emailing me. When it comes to completing the photo requests? PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME! The requests do not have to be done right away and I am a very patient person. I know that life can get in the way of things like this, weather, illnesses, deaths, etc. so please do not feel that you are in a hurry to get it done or that you have to go out of the way to accomplish this just for me. Sometimes I forget I even asked for one, so bear with me.
Should my name appear in other places with any of these photographs, other than adding a shared headstone, grave marker, mausoleum or crypt, there will be an annotation with that photograph, about who the original photographer is. I only do things like this to assist other photographers not to take credit away from them.
When I read your profiles here at Findagrave.com and I am able to use your photos without first asking permission, I usually make a statement on the upload page on Wikitree.com that goes like this: "As of this date (current date), permission to use this photo was given by the original photographer and Findagrave.com volunteer, on (current date) through a statement on their profile." I will always include the current date when I find the photo or portrait. I put the name of the person giving permission to use that photo just after the date. This way, credit is given for the photo and the date that I was able to upload it to the site. I only upload photos onto Wikitree.com, at this time. IF I wish to put them somewhere else, I WILL ask first. It's polite and it helps the original photographers know where I am using their photos. If there is a portrait or a photograph I will present the difference from a grave photo. Most times I will ask permission specifically for that portrait or current photograph of the person I am creating or the profile which has already been created by another Wikitreer, adding it to. If there is a time when I request the use of a photo of a grave marker/headstone/crypt/mausoleum and you say no, that 's fine, too. I will do my best to respect everyone's wishes and make a note, with a possible link to the memorial, on the Wikitree.com profile.
Thank you so much for your efforts and making photos possible and allowing me to use them when you do!
