Hello, I secretly really enjoy research but hate writing so my thesis languishes while I research everything else under the sun . It's in Cultural Anthro so I do have some background. I'm working a cemetery now so fulfilling requests has taken a backseat to photographing, researching and cross-referencing but I think it will be worth it.

The info I post is meant to be used as a guide in your own research since these are mostly not my family members all info is from official sources, censuses, death certificates, etc, and from published obituaries. Causes of death are listed because family medical history is important, just as also reminders of how far we have come but also why we should hold the line. I did not post URLs for websites of relevant newspaper articles because technology change over time but I did leave where you could find the articles in the source.

If I do have a family member and you would like me to transfer a memorial I will gladly transfer it to you. Just make sure you are willing to keep up with it, there are a fatigue and novelty factor I've had it myself. I am more than willing to keep them up but would love to hear from you either way.

I am trying to keep a sense of humor through dead raccoons, blazing hot temps and the random poorly transcribe headstone (why only enter the first person??!?!?!?!?!?!) I'll someday figure out the nonsupernatural reason that a perfectly okay headstone will come out blurry on different days but the surrounding ones are fine. ***shiver***
