I've had my family tree uploaded to the internet for quite a long time. As a matter of fact, on a few different web sites... As a result, I've been contacted by many people asking questions about this relative or that cousin. Many times, it turns out that I'm related to them at some level.

I also have put thousands of records up on www.findagrave.com where people will ask to have pictures of the gravestones attached to the records. Can't do it in the winter! Can't find the stones here in New England under the snow...

Today, I received a request that I can't fulfill simply because I know the stone is either sunk into the ground or so eroded that it can't be read or identified. The stone would be 200 year old limestone... Many of them simply don't hold up.

At any rate, the person I've been in touch with needed some info on Josiah Hitchcock (who happens to be a second cousin 6 times removed)and I was able to pull it out of my data base in a few seconds and create a PDF file which I sent off tonight.

I hope it helps their research!
