As of 6/10/2008, all cemetery headstone images are now uploaded onto Picasaweb AND each person is linked through the TNG database, allowing quick reference to hires headstone images, should you so desire.
In total, I have 24 cemeteries in 5 states, 13 counties, and each is mapped with the Google app making it even EASIER to find them.

We are all a product of our past generations and without knowing who they were, how can we truly know who we are? If you want to get to know yourself better, contact me to get started! In this blog, you can find tips on doing genealogy research along with stories of drama, mystery, and intrigue (oh and humor too). So, get some popcorn, your favorite drink and settle in while we take a path of discovery. Consider yourself a detective trying to solve the age old question - WHO AM I?

As you can see, I have upgraded from 6.1 to 6.2 on the TNG software. The changes and enhancements are most powerful. For further details on TNG, please go to

I strongly recommend this software for others considering or currently doing online publishing of genealogy research. It is by far the best I have seen.

I have been a member of Ancestry.com for nearly 2 years and in that time I have been collecting and downloading the Federal and State census records for reference in our family genealogy. I have posted those individual records that pertain to our family on my digital library, located at

You will find the census records located under family surnames. For example, if you are looking for a surname of Johnson, you can locate our Johnson family relatives under the "Records - Census - Johnson" album. These files are high resolution images that allow you to peer into the past and see your ancestors from as far back as the 1790s (in some cases).
As of June 4 2008, the list of census documents if nearly 375. The list is shown at the bottom.
Each census image is stored as a filename that includes the year, family name, head of household, and location. Unfortunately, the filename is not searchable (in picasaweb) at this time, so you need to do the following.
Go to the surname folder and select the first image.
At the right, you will see some photo information, example
Select the link "more info" and you should get further details on the image, including the filename and other details about the image. Now you can scroll through the images and find the "family head of household" you are looking for.
In case you find yourself overwhelmed by this task, send me an email of who you are looking for and I can point you in the right direction (assuming I have it).
Enjoy
