I have worked as a newspaper photographer for 30 years. I have been actively researching my family's history since my grandmother told me that her grandfather fought at the Battle of Shiloh which is 65 miles from here. Being a photographer, finding recording/archiving of family photographs is very important to me. That includes grave markers. I have been photographing my family's grave markers for many years now. My family line includes, Mennonite, Quaker, Puritan, Scot, English, French, Swiss/German and Swedish.
