My new favorite saying....Sometimes the people you wanted as part of your story are only meant to be a chapter.

We don't mind you using photos we have put up but it is frustrating to see them come up as being put up by someone other than us. They are our family photos, using them is one thing taking credit for them is another.

General photo rules clearly state "No animated GIFs, photos with additional graphics (borders, embellishments.)" That means adding your name, location of the grave, arrows etc. Also I am seeing chalk being used to enhance the writing on the headstone, that too should never be done.

PLEASE Don't ever put our name and or volunteer number as a source of who you got information from. We always source information ie. newspaper with date etc. This is not about the volunteers in my opinion, it is about the person on the memorial. That said I understand there are some that need recognition and I will post names when requested and give credit where credit is due but volunteers that need recognition may not quite get the reason why we are here.

Genealogy is a passion. I first became interested in family history after my mom died at the age of 51 and I realized I knew little about either side of my family. I found a single piece of paper which was all that had been documented about my heritage. It did however claim I was related to General Sherman and Alexander Graham Bell, the latter I have yet to prove. It also said I had a relative that owned a circus, with help from so many this has proven to be true, many of my Sherman family worked for the Sherman Circus and my gg uncle owned it. All Sherman's are of interest to me. Each piece of the puzzle peaked my interest more. I research every day sometimes my family more often others, all fascinating. Bill became interested soon after when we found so much new information about his family through our research. Together we document our families, and other families as well, along with cemeteries, which can net a lot of information and can be lost to time if the information isn't documented.

Research Books We own and will do look-ups:
History and Genealogies of the Families of Miller, Woods, Harris, Wallace, Maupin, Oldham, Kavanaugh and Brown by William Harris Miller
Sherman Directories, A 4 Volume set of Sherman Ancestry in America. (Note: Not all Sherman's have been documented)
El Dorado County, CA Cemetery Book
Solano County, CA Cemetery Book
Sonoma County, CA Cemetery Book
From Raft To Rail Road (Chenango County, NY)
Echoes Of The Past (Chenango County, NY)

If you want a memorial edited, or transferred please do it through the edit button of the memorial not here that way there is no question what memorial you are talking about.
