Bio

I sincerely hope that my entries will aide you in locating your family members. My primary intent is to gather the information from the headstones themselves, using cemetery records to locate the grave sites, whenever they are available.

I don't care about having the "numbers". If I have more memorials added than you, it's because I was able to spend a little more time than you adding information.

I spend a lot of time doing edits on memorials that need them. I am not "trolling for edits" as some may think. If you feel this way, go through your memorials and update them! Striving to have a complete and accurate database is not a bad thing.

Transfers and Edits
Updated 18 July 2015
If I have added a memorial and you are related to the individual in the memorial, I will be glad to transfer it to you, unless I am directly related to them.

Please request edits, corrections and transfers by using the "EDIT" tab on the memorial page. Select the correct category and send me your edit. For bios, and transfers, use the "suggest other correction" category. Also for transfers, please include your FAG contributor number so that transferring will go a little more smoothly.

I will not be adding obits as that is against Find A Grave's policy. However, if you would like to write a bio for the memorial I will be more than happy to add that.

FYI: Duplicate memorials that a member refuses to delete will be merged with the original memoral with the original memorial being retained. I do not do the merges, admins do them.

My Ancestors
I am a descendant of the following individuals:
James Kelly (1752 - 1837)
John Hershberger, Sr. (1754 - 1832)
Hans Jacob Richter (1674 - 1729)
Robert Little Parker (1840 - 1910)
James Anderson Watson (1836 - 1902)
Isaac Allerton (1586 - 1659)
Capt. Hancock Lee (1650 - 1709)

My Photographs
I will add a photo to a memorial that has had an update, is of better quality, or if the edits weren't done when the first photo was added. This is not against policy. If you find that it is rude, you might want to consider increasing the quality of your photos or doing the edits when you add a picture.

Feel free to copy any photo that I have submitted. You do not need to give me credit. All that I ask is that you do not sell the photos or add them to a database of photos to be sold.

Current Projects
I am currently working on documenting cemeteries in my area using photographs that I myself have taken, original cemetery records, and county burial records. I am doing it this way so that all burials within a cemetery are recorded, even those without a marker. (No I do not just work on my own family, I work on EVERYONE that is buried in the cemetery that I am working on!)

Stevens Cemetery, Four Seasons, Camden Co., Missouri
