I wish I could, but my connection is too slow. They sound very interesting.
Cindy Abrams commented on DeeDee Baldwin's group 'FindAGrave Addicts'
Yes, I've noticed that I get requests for cemeteries that are quite a distance. I'm guessing that the requests go to several volunteers, not just me. I live in a rural area and I actually live 12 miles from the town with my zip code.…

I have a netbook that I use when I go to the library and I use Legacy on it. I have a thumb drive with all my info on it. I really like it, it is much easier to carry around than a laptop.

There are some funeral homes who also sell tombstones, this may be more common in small towns. But, a local monument company would probably know more about the care and maintenance of gravestones.

Rebecca, Have you been able to talk to the funeral home about the spray? I am curious about what they said, I'm sure others are too.
Cindy Abrams commented on DeeDee Baldwin's group 'FindAGrave Addicts'
Rebecca, it sounds good, almost TOO good. You know what they say, "If it sounds to good to be true....." I think I'd be a little leery.

I guess it probably is a fence and only part of it remains, It doesn't really lead anywhere, and the posts or obelisks start in the middle of the cemetery. It probably made more sense if we could have seen it about 150 years ago.
Cindy Abrams commented on DeeDee Baldwin's group 'FindAGrave Addicts'
Finn, I was wondering that too, but there are tombstones next to some of the obelisks, which seems odd. The tombstones in the same row as the obelisks are pretty old.
Cindy Abrams commented on DeeDee Baldwin's group 'FindAGrave Addicts'
Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm talking about the obelisk stones. This is an old cemetery, most burials are in the mid to late 1800's. That may help. Thanks!
Cindy Abrams commented on DeeDee Baldwin's group 'FindAGrave Addicts'
Does anyone know what these are? They are in the cemetery, but don't appear to have any any inscriptions on them. There are holes in the top. I have never
seen this before.

Well, I guess we can agree that FAG won't please everyone all the time. But I guess if the majority of users are pleased with it most of the time, they are doing a pretty good job.
Having said that, I have a question. I am a fairly new…

I found it interesting that in the new "Find A Grave Complaints" forum that only one person has registered 13 complaints.
Cindy Abrams commented on Lorine McGinnis Schulze's group 'Ancestry Users'
I downloaded my family tree on Ancestry and have been in contact with distant cousins who I may not have found otherwise. Unfortunately, people will copy your information. I think the benefits of posting a public family tree vs. a private one is…

Thanks everyone for your great ideas. I know next time I go to a cemetery I will be well prepared!

- I have a Henry Abrams and Rachel Turpin who had a son Friend who was born in 1808. Henry and Rachel were my husband's 4th great-grandparents. I think there is a connection. I think there was more than 1 Friend Abrams. What do you think?

Barbara Krecklow said… - I thought so too, and that was why I didn't comment originally. I don't get too technical. Where do you live? I live in Oro Valley, AZ just north of Tucson. Geoff Rasmussen is coming in April to speak to the Legacy Users in our club and others in the area. He is a wonderful instructor!

- After I wrote that I was wondering if I had been clear enough. I do this once or twice a week sometimes more often, so it has become almost automatic. I'm happy to be able to have helped. Barb
