Born in Syracuse, N.Y. and grew up on the Polish West End. I have served in the military for 31 years and I am a veteran.
I am particularly interested in documenting the burials in the Geddes Sacred Heart Cemetery as part of a larger Polish immigrant and Polish-American historical and genealogical project. During high school I worked at Sacred Heart Cemetery and I worked at Myrtle Hill Cemetery while in college.
A member of Polish Legion of American Veterans (PLAV) Post 14, E. Jablonowski (Find A Grave ) in Syracuse.

If you are a person doing genealogical or historical research, you have my permission to use any photograph of mine for those purposes.

I believe that Find A Grave is a really great resource for the purpose of documenting local history, remembering and honoring our military and veterans, and family history, especially of our ethnic, immigrant populations. Its sad to see how much information is lost either through lack of interest or awareness. Many of our ancestors lived through difficult times in which they faced poverty, disease, war. Their stories are important to complete the fabric of our history. I'm glad we share this common interest and am happy to help work toward our common goal. Properly cited information (i.e. "fair use") - whether from newspapers, government documents, websites or books - aids us in this effort.

Life is tough enough to have to worry about all sorts of "nit-noid" rules. I am interested in honoring the persons about whom these memorials are made. I am not a hoarder of memorials. If I submit a request regarding additional biographical information that I happened to have found in census data or an obituary, I would appreciate some effort in creating or modifying a biography. If its too much for folks to do the work, I'd be happy to write a biographical entry. But If I get a snide or inflexible reply that lectures me about the "rules" I would rather delete my request. Let's honor the people to whom these memorials are made and try to say something about who they were rather than nag each other over the silly fine print.
