Bio

for many cemeteries in Adams Co. Wisconsin, I put up a transcription with photos in 2001 on rootsweb. It would seem that shady "contributors" have helped themselves and claimed my work as theirs and uploaded the images all over genealogy sites. This is not only morally improper, it is legally as well. Denial from them makes me just shake my head... how is it that flowers I placed are in your pic 11yrs later, the shadow (sometimes of me and my camera) are magically in "your" pic, and how is my then-4yr old child in the background... still 4yrs old and in "your" pic 11 yrs later? It's not rocket science - it's because the images were used without permission. Give credit where it's due, or take your stolen contributions down... particularly from Olin, Plainville, Townline & Big Spring Cemeteries. Yes, Waterman cousin, and Guitarman, I mean you.
