7 Days and Counting

Tick...Tick...Tick

Only seven more days until the release of the 1940 U.S. Census to the public.

FYI

I did get over to the Library of Michigan last week.  Very impressive place.

Uncovered several obits I was seeking, and was able to answer several other questions on some specific branches.

Special Thanks to Fred Rousseau, Find-A-Grave Volunteer

I recently went over 600 Memorials in my Find-A-Grave.com virtual cemetery, with over 490 of these memorials with photos of a grave marker.
The nice thing about the Find-A-Grave.com community is the assistance that the users provide to other users regarding photographing a memorial.

I have about 40 such requests out at this time attempting to get photos where possible of any memorial in my cemetery that currently does not have one.

I had a really nice thing happen this past week when a user named Fred Rousseau assisted me with obtaining photos to a memorial for Zola M. Edwards (1909-1967).

As you can see from the photos there was a little more involved that just taking the photo, the first thing he had to do was find it.






I want to give out a special thanks to Fred for taking these photos, and taking the time to again make Zola's marker viewable, it is appreciated.
