Patricia, The work you've done on the Stephens County cemeteries is priceless and VERY appreciated by everyone who has seen your work. For those of you who have never canvassed a cemetery before, you have to walk through each one and collect the names. It's very time consuming and a lot of work. To do a lookup you have to go to the cemetery and find the stone. Pat, if I can help you out by posting your e-mail better or in some other way please feel free in asking anything of me. I'm afraid that as of yet Stephens County is lacking volunteers in every aspect. To Karen I would like to say.... Hey...if you don't know that answer you have to keep asking. If you have an older computer or slower modem, then it takes longer for the page to load and sometimes you miss what's at the bottom of the page. Chock this up as a learning experience. You can't hear the tone of the person typing mail, so if the words seem rude, then you make an assumption. I'm here to help whenever I can, so please ask me. If I can I will find the answer.
