I am so grateful to this site and the people who maintain it, especially those who have so graciously helped me. My family roots include Harder/Beckmann(German immigrants), Johnson/Casey (Arkansas), Hudson/Troxel (Mississippi/Missouri), and Dickenson/Dick/Palm (Iowa/Kansas/Ohio). I am the great-granddaughter of Charles W. Palm, who died in Santa Rosa as a result of the 1906 San Francisco Bay Area earthquake. Discovering him on Find A Grave was the beginning of my now-obsession with my genealogy. I will happily share any info that will help others find loved ones.

If I can help anyone by photographing a grave in the area of Contra Costa County where I live, please let me know.
