Been a long time!

By The GenPals Cem..., May 21, 2009

Well I know this sounds silly but I forgot my login and then I forgot to log in.

But back on track now, I hope.

Over the last few months Genpals has been busy adding more inscriptions and photos to www.genpals.com

We have visited 2 cemeteries and have been given numerous photos by visitors to our site for which we are sincerely grateful - thank you!

So if you are interested in tracing your genealogy and finding where your ancestors were buried you may find them by visiting the site.
