{Hello, I am a Luker in Texas. I’ve visited your genealogy site a few times and appreciate how difficult it can be to track down records and resolve conflicting information. The site has been updated since my last visit and it looks great. I did notice however that the burial site for my great grandmother is incorrect. She is buried near Brushy Creek in Anderson County Texas where my great grandfather was preaching at the time. I have personally been to the gravesite, and have attached the Find A Grave website with photos and some other info.

 Again, thanks for all your hard work in compiling the family history.
