Pearl Street Software, maker of GenCircles and Family Tree Legends, has merged with MyHeritage.com, recently named one of the best genealogy Websites of the year 2007 by Family Tree Magazine. The first move from this merger is that Family Tree Legends (a genealogy software) and GenCircles have been made 100% free!
The merger is also bringing the "Smart Matching" technology free for GenCircles and MyHeritage users. Smart Matching is a specialized genealogy technology developed by Pearl Street Software and further advanced by MyHeritage, to connect family trees. It works by comparing millions of names, facts and tree connections - intelligently. When two family trees are connected, both their owners are informed, and benefit from the opportunity to collaborate and learn from each other.
They advanced the Smart Matching technology into what they call, "Smart Matching 2.0", which covers spelling and phonetic variations, understands nicknames and name synonyms and deals better with ethnic variations.

To whom it may concern,
We visited the Fowler grave sites at the Old Durham Cemetery this summer and are curious about the scaffolding, and what looks like some digging around the sites. If anyone can tell me how I can find out what is happening, I'd appreciate a heads up.

We visited the Old Durham Cemetery this summer and noted that there was "construction" at the Fowler grave sites and are wondering what is being done. If anyone can help us find out what the scaffolding around the grave sites is there for we'd appreciate knowing.

I am so interested in cemeteries. I live in Guthrie County and find you have no record of all the cemeteries there.
I also am concerned with the fact that a school is trying to put a 2 lane road in the first isle of a cemetery in Panora Iowa. I am working diligently to stop that action.
How can I find out more and help get more cemeteries on your list.

I'm searching for the Midway Cemetery in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. It's located somewhere NW of Reydon, Oklahoma. Anyone have driving directions?

I would like to make a statement about an article written about the Old Unity Cemetery in Fort Mill, South Carolina by Heather Garner of Cemetery Preservation and Restoration. You can find this article at:
http://www.interment.net/column/commentary/20000325.htm
I have read this article many times in the past and this time I must comment. Fort Mill is my home town. I grew up there. I had many friends that lived right around this very cemetery. Her charge that the conditions she found this cemetery in is the result of "shameless vandalism" committed by “the very people whose responsibility it is to maintain this historic legacy” is completely false and without basis. I have no idea where she may have gotten this information from, but it is high time that someone who actually lived in Fort Mill and not someone who is a transplant set this story straight. As far back as I can remember Old Unity Cemetery was for all purposes pristine. If she had seen it as I knew it, she would be paying the people of Fort Mill the highest of praise and complements rather than charging their actions as “criminal”. The overwhelming vast majority of the damage she speaks of, smashed headstones, damage to the stone walls, occurred on September 22nd of 1989 when hurricane Hugo passed over Fort Mill as a category one storm. This storm produced many downdrafts and micro bursts that knocked trees over like toothpicks. Many homes in the Whiteville Park neighborhood where the cemetery is located were severely damaged. I can tell you as an eye witness to this storm’s aftermath that the condition of Old Unity Cemetery to which she refers was mainly caused by large trees that grow outside of the stone wall being knocked over by this storm. I was there; I saw the trees and the resulting damage for myself. I understand that this does not let the town of Fort Mill off the hook for not attempting to do something to repair and restore this historic cemetery. I must agree that their lack of response and action in that matter is quite embarrassing and outright shameful. However, I find the charges that the people of Fort Mill in general, and the residents of Whiteville Park in particular are the primary reasons for the cemetery’s condition infuriating. What I see illustrated here is a blatant rush to judgment before all of the facts are known. I really have to ask, did anyone in her organization actually speak to anyone who lives around the cemetery? I find it very difficult to believe that so many people who saw what I saw in September of 1989 told her that Old Unity Cemetery had been vandalized.
