Bio

I started genealogy research in 1995 when I found out my Cherokee ancestry which had been disavowed and hidden by my grandfather (H T Webster) ...seems it wasn't always something to be proud of to be a Native American. It was then I realized how little I really knew about my entire family...so I started digging, and digging.

Cemeteries can be an invaluable resource for genealogists. Who a person is interred next to, and in cemeteries with can be a great tool. As long as the information collected and posted is ACCURATE, maintained and not duplicated by some who don't pay close attention to detail.

I strive to be as accurate as humanly possible, researching diligently before making additions or changes.

How our ancestors resting place in our cemeteries are treated says a great deal about our society in general. Some of the callousness and disregard, and willful destruction I have seen is appalling, and I hope peoples attitudes will change.
