Bio

My genealogy interest is primarily in eastern Kentucky, including the Mathews, James, Sirginnis, Crider, Endicott, and Maynard families.

I also have great interest in the Cline Cemetery in Pikeville, Kentucky and have done extensive research on those interred there. There are many "random" people buried there and my goal is to link them to families elsewhere on Find A Grave. The death certificates uploaded do not contain people who are still living.

There are (and were) multiple Cline Cemeteries in Pikeville so additions must be scrutinized carefully. This Cline Cemetery was one of the very first integrated in Kentucky. Confirmed burials include 68 Caucasian adults, 28 Caucasian children, 51 Non-Caucasian adults, and 16 Non-Caucasian children. I use "Non-Caucasian" as several were mulatto and others with interracial parents. Some were doctors and lawyers, some were freed slaves, and others lived on the Pike County Poor Farm. The last burial in this cemetery was 2006.

While my interest focuses on eastern Kentucky, I live in Pensacola, Florida and am glad to snap a picture of headstones when requested. It takes a village to recreate a village.

Happy to take grave photos for people seeking photos of specific gravesites, especially at Barrancas National Cemetery. Don't have the time to just photograph 10-20 graves for someone who is trying to get all the graves on findagrave.
