As I say in my Find a Grave profile,
"There is a story under every stone".
While photographing graves for Find A Grave or genealogy research, I have come across many interesting stories about the people buried under those tombstones. In this blog I will share some of the most interesting of these stories with you. Why? So these people will not be forgotten.

SHE DANCED THE TANGO WITH RUDOLPH VALENTINO - Beatriz Dominguez
Great article! Beatrice Dominguez is my Great Great Aunt. I'm always pleased when I find something like this. Because she died so young I don't feel she got the recognition she deserves in silent cinema. Even my film teacher last night didn't know who she was.
Hello Allegra and thank you for your kind words. I am glad to be able to do my small part to help keep the memory of Beatriz alive. If you have any additions/corrections/changes to what I have written feel free to contact me offline: jwcraig11@comcast.net
Great post as usual Jim. Just wanted to comment that the pose in the final photo looks so much like the pose of the angel at her grave.
ReplyDeleteGood observation Amanda - all the times I have looked at both of those photos I never noticed. You are absolutely right!
