Bio

This site, is one of my many outdoor hobbies. Time is best spent, with the living.

I work on cemeteries native to our family and geography. I photograph entire cemeteries in hopes of finding our missing links, regardless of if they have a photo already or not. This notes where I have been and finds the missing puzzle pieces that have been left unsolved by the memorial creator and their unbeknownst descendants. I also add GPS coords to all images so you can quickly find your ancestor. No time absorbing the new, is wasted time. I am happy to help anyone here. Just shoot me a message. If you see my tag on a cemetery or memorial, I am relative to the area. I add factual information to memorials and the image gallery. How do you know this is indeed your "John Smith", who died 100 years ago, without it? I have also received a large number of local & non-local memorials from ill/retired members who entrusted me with their care.

Facts that I upload, are from the original index and they are transcribed as such. Typos and all or phonetically, from the original person. Adding facts will prevent future, potentially incorrect edit requests. Accuracy is prudent. Your time is as valuable as mine.

Did you know?
-Death certificate information is only as accurate, as the Informant who provided it?
-Many cemeteries have duplicate names? BE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND CEMETERY BEFORE YOU PLUG MEMORIALS INTO THEM. "IF YOU DON'T KNOW, DON'T GO."
-If you've not taken a course on stone rubbing or preservation, leave it to someone who has. You could degrade an old marker quicker , otherwise!

My lines are: Davis, Goodwin, Huntley, Grooms ( I have a multitude of Grooms lineage via two different great-grandchildren of Abraham), Rothwell, Wood, Baudendistel, Day/e, Satterfield (ditto from Grooms), Shivener, Wills, Osborne, Uhl, Stotler, Baldwin, Crawford, McClung, Easter, Copas, Smalley, Sprinkle, Miller, Wolfe, Hert, Dixon, Edwards, Jacobs, McClurg, Paul, Johnson, Emmons, Boatman, Sutterer, Schafer, Applegate, Campbell, Worthington, Wall, Yeckley, Bickmore, Rader, Bennington, Foster Shanks, Marvin, Monroe, Matheny, Liming, Knott, Dix, Lambert, Worstell, Purkhiser,Downing, Everett, Wolf, Knell, Weber, Ellison Simmons, Hunsaker, Zumwalt and McClanahan.

My children's lines are Vogler, Rothwell, Young, Bentley, Puckett, Jones, Abbott, Morrison, Graham, Meade, Reynolds, Grooms, Knauff, Cornwell, Easter, Copas, Behm, Holt, Hackney, Longacre, Amos, Wyatt, Satterfield, McCarty, Finney, Gardner, McClaren, Riley, Gipson/Gibson (Cherokee Indians in Magoffin Co., Ky) Collins, Armstrong, McDaniel, Thatcher, Shoemaker, Ewing, Pollard, Scroggs, Taylor and Webb.

Our roots are deeply seeded in Adams, Brown, Clermont, Pike and Hamilton Counties, in Ohio. Prior to there, our families were in Lewis, Mason, Magoffin, Breathitt and Wolfe County, Kentucky. Russell, Wise, Botetourt, Fairfax and Loudoun County, Virginia, Monongalia and Berkeley County, W. Virginia(then Virginia). Northampton and Fayette County, PA and Hancock County, TN. And, somewhere in Vermont that I have yet to pin down. I welcome information or tips for expanding my lines and finding new family.
