Bio

Experienced genealogist, amateur(ish) archaeologist, studying WWI & taphophile!
**The majority of requests I make for Memorial transfer will be for my own big family!

HELLO fellow helpers :)
** Loads of messages - as always, I will answer each of them asap - your messages are appreciated, taking a wee bit of work to research so I can answer questions & update individual Memorials for family information.
I also love hearing of each family tale, thankyou so much for sharing with me.

*PLEASE add Memorial Numbers when messaging as I have many people with the same name -
I try to keep Memorials as accurate as possible, it would help if you could suggest records to verify info so I can check, or may be declined. Thankyou. :)
**Please don't attach COPYRIGHT photo's to memorials, 'watermarked' are ok.

On Remembrance Day & every day, thankyou! Lest We Forget.

and a soldiers fame is dear.
Nowhere will he be forgotten,
Least of all forgotten here."

A memory for the perish'd ship!
A love-thought for the drown'd!
A prayer to God for all who sunk
Into the sea profound!
And in the great bark of the world
May those who stride the deck,
Be ever warn'd of such a fate.
And armed for such a wreck!
(Source: "The Wreck of the Pegasus', by F.W.N. Bayley, published
in the 'Illustrated London News', 29th July, 1843).

For suggestions & corrections to Memorials, please use the "EDIT" tab & "SUGGESTED EDITS" as it connects to correct Memorial.

**I return frequently to Memorials adding more information,
dates, transcribe headstones, link memorials etc as I research, for families to read.

***THANKYOU to people who send me a kind word when I send 'updates' as I
stumble across a Memorial during my "to-ing & fro-ing" -

~~

I may ask for transfer of a Memorial so I can update from various sources - but I am happy to transfer back to you if I am not related to the person. :)
[I welcome transfer of Memorials also, as 'carers' step-back from frequent updates, should you wish me to research for you, just ask.
Thankyou for the privilege.] ;)

- many people are not be able to research on their own. :)
