Since starting my journey in finding my "family" and posting pictures of their headstone and obit's, I have really enjoyed walking cemeteries, taking pictures, researching where they came from and where they went, how many children they had, and how long they lived.

I have photographed 20 complete cemeteries and uploaded the pictures, researched the person as much as I could, even if they weren't in my family. Helping others.

Some members have been so grateful to get updates and pictures, accepting updates, and some have not.

So with that said here is the negative. If you don't accept message but send nasty messages to me, I will not change/do what you have asked, I will just delete your message. I recently got a message from another Find a Grave member to tell me she has reported me to admin for chaulking headstones, the stones were very dark and very old, so chaulking was the only way to read them, so I removed my pictures, there were no other pictures added, just mine and it was a small cemetery (30 stones), so a hurricane came through, knocking down the trees around the cemetery, taking most of the stones as well, then recently we had major flooding throughout the province, so with 2 natural disasters hitting this cemetery the stones are now gone, either smashed to pieces or buried in the mud, and never to be seen again. So I will continue to chaulk unread stones and post the pictures, lesson learned

It is a volunteer website, so I volunteer my time to go and get the pictures and search thru archives and obits, so I really don't need to be berated by someone who has not.

Also my pictures are for your use on your family trees, not other websites, I do not give permission to use my photo for this use.

I have read a lot of other bio's from members and they have on their profile - "Play nice in the sand box" so I ask the same
