I inherited the genealogy bug from my beloved late father, and cherish all the time we had together researching our family tree. We visited, photographed and documented numerous cemeteries in our area and in states of our family origins.

I have been doing genealogy on my and my husband's family for 30 years, researching the surnames Ross, Brehm, Kissel, Leidigh, Misner, Ramey, Reigle, Copley and Scharff, among countless others. The other branch consists of Martin, Underwood, Kirk, McCullough, James, Bartee, Raabe, Pufahl...and the list goes on.

My father was homebound the last few years of his life, and internet genealogy was his only means of information. Knowing what that meant to him and that there are others like him, I take many additional photographs and continue to post them here in hopes they, too, will help someone find their ancestors. If you find your relatives and would like them transferred to you, I am more than happy to do so!

*** I have photo documented Hampton Cemetery in Nebraska and Logan Park Cemetery, Floyd Cemetery and Graceland Park Cemetery in Sioux City, Iowa. If you have family members in any of these cemeteries, feel free to request management, as I am not related and photographed the stones for family members to find.

You are welcome to use my photographs on your family trees. In the effort to prevent mis-information to other genealogists, I do request your courtesy in not re-posting my photos on other cemeteries, mainly because I know where I took them. :) I am more than willing to help you if you have questions, so feel free to ask.

TIPS:
* A stone does not mean there is a burial.
* A burial does not mean there is a stone.
* A woman's middle initial on a stone may represent their maiden name.
* A person may have had more than one grave and more than one burial record. If they were moved, (more common than one would think), there may be more than one burial location - Please DO NOT MERGE THESE. Their story did not end after the first burial. Cemeteries never erase records, and those seemingly 'extra' memorials will lead to the next location. Without them, records are confusing. Think of it like this: they are no different than a cenotaph (burial one location, marker in another).

To quote my father, "Family is everything." I miss you, Dad.
