"We sit down with tearsand call to You in the grave:rest gently, gently rest! Rest, you exhausted limbs! - Rest gently, rest well. - Your grave and headstone shall, for the anxious conscience, be a comfortable pillow and the resting place for the soul." ~ J.S. Bach, St. Matthew PassionI'm a part time genealogy/family history researcher, who focuses on family histories in VA and KY. Since I'm based here on the West Coast, I've started volunteering to photo document grave sites as a way of paying it forward for the help that researchers in KY and VA gave me when I started. If I have created a memorial for a family member of yours, don't hesitate to request a transfer. Any photo I have posted on Find a Grave is intended to be used. Please feel free to use them in personal use and documentation.EDITS AND CORRECTIONSPlease use the edit tab in the upper right hand corner to advise me of any links you would like made, corrections or additional information you would like added to a memorial that I manage.PLEASE NOTE!!! Find a Grave does not require that I search the entire Find a Grave system globally, only the individual cemeteries in which I am adding to. Please do not move your Burial Unknown into the correct cemetery based on the information you found from my memorial & then demand that I delete my duplicate. For further information on this, please refer to how Find a Grave handles duplicate memorials.Lastly, please remember most of us volunteer. Be kind. May your family tree searches always bear fruit!
