Drives me nuts when people do cemetery readings and don't transcribe the entire stone. Somebody paid good money to put it there, and if it isn't written down, it may not always be there. That's why when our Greater Omaha Genealogy Society embarked on the project of reading the city cemeteries, we insisted that if it was carved on, write it down, or as much as could be made out. Time & weather, and sometimes vandals, can do a lot of damage. We even try to give a rough idea of what the art work is, as well as any symbols from groups they might have been associated with...leads to more records, right?

Karen Tippets If this memorial is in Graves-Ousley Cemetery in Sharps Chapel, there is a good chance I took the photo and uploaded it to the memorial. It drives me nuts when people criticize & complain about others work. In the first place I would think someone should be darn thankful & appreciative the memorial is on line in the first place. Number one, it was not a cemetery reading it was a photo. I did not have the material and or the time to sit down and try to figure out what exactly was inscribed on the marker. I respect your right to voice an opinion but for the thousands of people who spend untold hours in cemeteries in all kinds of weather then take even more of their time to add memorials to Find A Grave, your comment is not appreciated. don sanford -----Original Message----- From: tnunion-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tnunion-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Karen Tippets Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 2:46 PM To: tnunion@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNUNION] William KIng Drives me nuts when people do cemetery readings and don't transcribe the entire stone.
