Subject: Thank YOU!

Just want to thank you for your time to take quality photos. The photos not only benefit us today as we research our families, but it preserves cemeteries for future generations. Thanks so much, Carol

Subject: headstone identification

Hi Michaael
You have done an amazing job in getting pictures posted on the web but they would be much more helpful if they had the surname from the stone listed in the image identifier. That way if someone was looking for a Grimes they could search much more quickley to the stone in question. We have been rewalking many of the cemeteries over here in SE Iowa but I haven't gotten into posting stones on the web as yet. Maybe down the line when I find out more about what you have to do and how to do it. Are you ever over in western Illinois??? If so would you be interested in giving a program about your passion about photographing headstones and how you get it availaboe on the web to people who are interested in finding their ancestors? If so let me know at my e-mail address. Pat Morrison, Montrose, IA

Subject: Surname list??

I was wondering if there is a list telling which page a person is pictured, I love looking thru and find it relaxing-just wondering. We came from that area many years ago and have most of our families in the area. Keep up what you are doing, it is great for us not in the area.
