Find A Grave and Pictures
Lately I have found a new web site. It's call Find a Grave. You might think me a sicko, but it is really fun for a person working on genealogy. I was going through some old death certificate in connection with trying to find out more information. I saw the cemetery was listed and went to see if they had a web site. Low and behold you can find just about any cemetery you want. The great thing is that members log in graves with pictures of the plot and person. You can also enter a person and request a picture of the plot. Volunteers from all around the area can go and get the picture for you. I in turn am too look for people at cemeteries in my area. So far I have requested 2 photos and logged 6 new graves.
The other thing I'm working on is photos from Jim's Mom. She has lent me some old photo albums and I have been scanning my ass off. I have even managed to do some repair on one of her favorites of her father. What do you think. No bad for an amature.
I now need more ink from my printer so I can add more pictures to my tree. I have a metal tree that I have old pictures of my ancestor on. I now can add Jim's side. This is what it looks like now. I should be able to add about 6 more people. I'm so excited. I know, very sad, but what can I say. I love this stuff.
