Since I developed an interest in finding my roots, Find A Grave has been a great resource. If more people would connect family links when possible, it would be even better.
One of my grandfathers was born in Tonawanda, NY. His father emigrated to NY from Germany in 1881, married a German-American woman, and lived in a house on the bank of the Erie Canal.
My other grandparents were born in Florida, with their ancestors moving south into Georgia and Florida from Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina.
I am interested in the names Gillett(e), Licht, Brantley, and Page. Also, I have interest in related families that the Gillett(e)s married into, such as Boston, Richards, and Stewart.
If you are a relative of a memorial I have entered, I will be happy to transfer maintenance to you if I am not related, or my relatives if you are more closely related than I am.
When I take photos of grave markers, I don't try anything fancy. I go for maximum readability of the inscriptions. Sometimes this means manipulating the picture in Photoshop, leaving the marker lighter or darker than it actually is.
You are welcome to use my photos of markers for any non-commercial purpose, such as personal family trees, or posting on Ancestry.com and similar sites. I can usually provide a higher resolution copy should you need one.
Walker yes - I kept the Buffalo obit just as it was - based on the Tonawanda obit, I suspect the article was written the day before it was published in the Buffalo paper and they never changed the wording to fit the publication date.
RE: Arvid Ohman No problem - it's so easy to make a mistake - especially if a spreadsheet is used. I always hope someone is out there double checking me!
Getty sorry about the duplication - would you mind adding the bio/obit info from my memorial for him and then I will delete him and link his children to your memorial for him
