Hi, I'm also related to the Layfield famiy. My connection is through James Monroe Layfield, who was my great-great grandfather. He was the youngest son of Levin and Lucretia Layfield.

http://www.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/ga/talbot/photos/tombstones/geneva.htm Thanks to several people we now have many family tombstones on-line for Geneva Cemetery. (So we've come a long way in a few weeks, from the time I couldn't even find the cemetery listing, because we had it under "Maund".) I think this is such a wonderful experience to be able to click and see a photo of your ancestor's tombstone on-line -- one that you may never personally be able to make the trip to see. Kris mailed me her photos, I scanned them, and put them on-line and will be mailing them back to her. So if you have photos of tombstones, please pull them out and share them. If you can't get them scanned, then I'll be happy to work with you. As these older tombstones get more and more weather beaten, it is also important that we capture the image while we can still read it. So even if you have a photo from years ago--- that would be very valuable to us. Please pass this along to all of your genealogy friends -- no matter what county or state. The more we get the photos on-line, the more others will be helped by it. I know there are several places to submit photos, but I just want you to know about our GAGenWeb sites and that we are anxious to work with you. Virginia Crilley
