I am retired and enjoy working on genealogy as a hobby. I have a masters degree from the University of Oklahoma and I'm using my research skills to hunt down my ancestors. www.findagrave.com is a terrific web site. My ancestors include but are not limited to: Allison, Campbell, Morris, Johnson, Holdsworth, Baird, Kirkpatrick, Phillippi, Worley, Sweeney, Vaught, Watson, Dale, Wheeler, Hoyt, Newman
I make an effort to connect husbands, wives and families using obituaries and census records.
As many of you know, I have spent hours taking photos in the Rose Hill Cemetery in order to create memorials. I also do research in the Oklahoma Historical Society Library for some of my memorials.

Use the "Suggest a Correction" feature on the appropriate memorial to submit information or any requests. I follow the Find-A-Grave guidelines regarding the transfer of memorials. Any transfer requests should only be for direct relatives within four generations. This would be siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
RE: L. Wayman Branch I'm glad you found the date it was published. I just cut out the obits and put them in an album, so I wouldn't have had the info. Thanks for working on this site!
Covert Cemetery I have completed my record on Covert Cemetery. Again, I want to express my sincere thanks for your help in updating the memorials in Covert Cemetery.
RE: Green Sweeney I will go back asap and look again for his dates and let you know. The last two weeks I haven't been able to get out as much as I would like. Between work and my youngest son getting married next week I have been busy. But excited for wedding. I will check for you.
