Bio

I'm just a poor country lawyer who enjoys geneaology as a hobby. I do this in my small amount of spare time, which seems to come in spurts. I am not trying to win some kind of award for most memorials or anything. My pet peeve is not to make duplicates, and it is important to put full names in the blanks, not just what is engraved (if you know the full name). I don't know how many times I have searched for "Jessie Idella Jones" when the tombstone only said "Della Jones". It is also difficult when the spouses name is not known, but a maiden name is not listed, or not in the maiden name box.
Remember, sometimes all because it is engraved in stone doesn't mean it is accurate. Tombstones can be wrong, family records can be wrong (or often misread), and even death certificates (official documents) can be wrong. I don't take any of it as 100% true, but I will believe a family record first.
If you send me a request for a correction, etc., please be patient. I am very busy at my real world job, and I seem to be able to do this in spurts, so I will get to it when I can. If you do it under the "suggest corrections", you will have better luck.
