In order to get a picture of the grave of Otto #Steurenthaler in #Probstried in #Allgäu, I created a #FindAGrave profile for him and added a picture request in July 2025. When the request was fulfilled this February, I asked the photographer, if I may use the photo on the #WikiTree profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthaler-76 as well. Now she replied, that I may use it and that she recognized him from WikiTree profile. They didn't know each other, but she would meet him outside sometimes and nod at him.

I finally understood how the profile of Joseph #Pfefferle at #FindAGrave could have such a different month of birth, than what my research suggested it should be. Also, I'm a bit proud of my conclusions to identify the origin of this German immigrant to #Shelby from #Münstertal.

Mit einer #Suche über alle #ofb, dazu #gedbas #grabsteinProjekt #verlustlisten #passagierlisten #sterbebilder #auswanderer #zufallsfunde - alles was das #genealogie - Herz begehrt. Sicherlich eine interessante #Alternative zu #Ahnenforschung​s-#Portal​en wie #familysearch #myheritage #ancestry #findmypast #findagrave & Co.

Almost got last weeks Wikipedia, and do have FindAGrave, editing goals done.

On #Wikipedia, I primarily search for missing, reliable citations and on #FindAGrave, I link the newly departed who are missing parents or spouses with the previously departed.

With my Parkinson's, I have to do these tasks when my meds are "turned on" and my brain doesn't have a "banana up its tailpipe."

On Wikipedia, sometimes if it is important enough and it's not a page under heavy editing because of a current event, I will drop a cite in the talk page if I don't feel safe enough to do an edit without screwing the page up if my brain is misfiring too much. Somebody is usually watching the page and it gets done.

@mathzy Ah, that's why FindAGrave has been down all morning.

Find a Grave Tip: Make sure your reflection isn't on the stone! 🤣

This was a trip I took in 2022 to Conecuh County, Alabama. Not a relative, just thought it was cool with a picture of him with a guitar.
