Thanks Thomas, as the saying goes, "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery." I really wish that I could take credit for the idea! But I stole it from Amy at Amy's Genealogy Blog
Thomas, I hope you will take the photos and bios and also add them to findagrave.com. Becky mentioned that she is planning to do that and there are already several genea-bloggers who are FAG contributors. My memorial for William Briggs is an example of how you can link families together in a virtual cemetery.
