Nel, Question -- On Robert E Hatcher, buried in West Beef River Cemetery, Strum, Tempealeau County, WI there already is a portrait photo of him. Do you want a gravestone photo too? I requested one for his wife Marion Halverson HATCHER. When I did so, I was notified there were at least 4 volunteers within a 10-mile radius and 10 volunteers within a 50-mile radius. Darleen J.

Yes, would like to have the tombstone pic, too. Then - I'm more and more impressed with how findagrave operates on getting these pics. I have more confidence in the data when I know someone, often unrelated, took that pic. In the recent past I've not been overly happy with many of the Hatcher entries that do NOT have a tombstone pic, It appears that many people are adding names and dates of people they may only "believe" were buried there. There are wrong names and dates being listed, additional info added that in some cases I have proof is wrong, etc, etc. It tends to look as if people are just adding unproven data from their family file. And Wisconsin is already done!! Thank you :-) I suspect many of the northern states will not have all that many Hatchers per state. "Were you asking us to find names on the Hatcher website who are known to be buried in Wisconsin, upload them to findagrave, and then request a photo -- were you?" NO! In fact, I had not thought of that angle. That would, yes, be a trickier can of worms :-) But if you're looking for more fun, you could start with Maine and work down thru the NE states. My suspicion is that it may be only NY and NJ where you'll find any Hatchers.....but we could still check them off the states list as DONE. Now I happen to think the pic you sent was lovely!! I could've worked with one of the reunion pics where ya' both looked like ya' lost your comb :-) Nel
