OK, I have to point this one out and try to teach those who don’t know! You can’t always take obituaries literally! Just because it says something doesn’t mean it is true!
The obituary I posted today for my Aunt Juanita is a prime example. I have no problem with it because I know why [...]

You know, I’m not a professional photographer and I don’t try to claim to be a knowledgeable person when it comes to photographing tombstones. I would like to take the time to share with you a method that I have been using lately and see if anyone can help me to improve. I promise I [...]

What will they think of next? Lisa Cook at Genealogy Gems has posted a blog about a news reporter in Arizona who wanted to talk about “genealogy ripoffs”!
Well, if you go to Lisa’s and read the story then you will see that folks who don’t know anything about genealogy shouldn’t be doing a consumer report [...]

No, it’s not the merry, merry month of May but I was strolling through the park today. I stopped at a park to take some pictures of my wife and two daughters. They have a nice little stone column area that is good for pictures. While there my daughter suggested going across the street to [...]
