]]> Comment on Just an Ancestry Thing by stephv73 http://washergenes.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/just-an-ancestry-thing/#comment-5494 stephv73 Mon, 04 May 2009 19:39:33 +0000 http://washergenes.wordpress.com/?p=211#comment-5494 It's continually astounding to me how many people can be so cruel, vindictive, and just downright awful in the comments they post online. The anonymity of the Internet prompts far too many people to write things they would never dream of saying to someone's face. I, for one, can't even begin to fathom how anyone could make a connection between wanting to explore their heritage and racism. There's just such a disconnect there, making it requires a suspension of logic I'm just incapable of imagining. I mean, just because, for example, I want to explore my own <a href="http://www.irishgenealogical.com/irish-ancestors-how-to-meet-them.html"Irish ancestors, does that make me a racist to other cultures? No! It doesn't! Sometimes, I think some of these people who make hateful comments online are simply getting some bizarre pleasure out of being cruel for cruelty's sake. I choose to ignore such people, other than to feel sorry for them, as they're missing out on so much beauty in life by maintaining a negative attitude.

Personally stonework created using only machines doesnt have the same level of creativlty in my opinion.

My mother (now deceased) is Muriel Frances Burger, and my uncle, her brother (also now deceased), is Clinton. Norma Burger Adt, Al's sister, was my great Aunt. I am looking for my grandfather's exact date of birth and death so I can get a headstone made for his grave, which is in Glenwood Cemetary in Binghamton. My grandpa died when I was 1 year old, which would've made his year of death around 1957. Any help would be appreciated.
