I don't care about numbers... if I have a memorial you would like transferred, please contact me!

My genealogy & family history research is focused on the CENTRAL NY state region, and one area of NY City:

SURNAMES: Brower, Church, Cook, Cox, Edwards, Gager, Mertz/Metz, Partridge, Shaver, Tefft, Ward, Weaver, Weyant

COUNTIES: All names except Brower, Weyant & Mertz are mainly Chenango, Delaware & Madison counties. Some tidbits are Otsego, Cortland & Broome counties. Brower and Weyant are Queens County, Long Island.

TOWNS: Upstate: Norwich, Guilford, Oxford, New Berlin, Sidney, Sherburne, Rockdale and others. L.I.: Hempstead

The 'Weaver' surname goes back to New York, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania. Mertz/Metz is Penn.

The 'Cox' surname starts in NY but they later moved (early to mid-1900s) to Thousand Oaks, CA (George & Martha); so far I have found no info on them from CA.

I am happy to try to help others by taking headstone photographs. Unfortunately as much as I love helping and doing for others, I've found it to be very time consuming because of needing to make local contacts to obtain maps and plot numbers. I believe the requestor should be doing this research work ahead; I have seen it in a few instances. Hope others can do it too! The second limitation for me is the cost of gas- I live in a rural area, and most cemetery requests for this area are way out in the country (some over 20 miles one way!) Ugh! Not a complaint, just setting expectations. ;-)
