I don't Claim a request until I get back home, unless, I am very sure that I can find that headstone.<br /><br />I guess the frustration of this visit, is that 0 for 16 is very bad. Had I found one or two, it would have been different. And the fact that this has happened a number of times in recent times to me. It hasn't been that way in the past. But, it may be just too many people guessing.<br /><br />I will probably go back again is a week or so and look again.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment.<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453399478248979864.post-18336266628891974342013-08-24T21:14:27.731-04:002013-08-24T21:14:27.731-04:00Sometimes people don't have anything else to g...Sometimes people don't have anything else to go off of, other than a lead which won't be very good.

I never considered keeping backups. I think I even deleted all the pictures from my hard drive. I guess I will do things a little differently now. I did post all the pictures on Billion Graves too.<br /><br />Betty<br /><br />http://hooverhistory.blogspot.com/<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149186891188677587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453399478248979864.post-55335596419396093902013-01-27T11:39:01.756-05:002013-01-27T11:39:01.756-05:00Bill,
