Hello everyone! Yes, we are definately working on putting all cemetary
transcriptions on line. This is a good time to remind anyone out
there:...if you volunteered to proof read the data base, we are waiting to
hear from a few of you PLEASE respond to Eloine Chesnut's emails. In the
meantime, please note that these transcriptions were donated for the
website by the Jay County Genealogy Society, so they are in possession of
the originals. The Jay County Genealogy Society will do look-ups for
members and non-members alilke, obviously its cheaper for members and
membership is $10.00. The cemetary inscriptions are a major source of
information since early Jay County death records were destroyed in a flood.
From the main web page there is a link to the Jay County Genealogy
from a
secondary page. There they have listed thier membership fees and benefits,
books for Sale, etc. They are a very active society and are soon to become
the custodians of early probate records. the main page is at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~injay and you will find the link in the right hand
column under research assistance

Have any of the Jay Co cemeteries been
indexed and put into book form?
If so are they for sale?
Thanks.
Dem bones.
I am under the impression that our webmaster and friends are working on
this and have been for some time....at least for Jay.
Having spent many a day looking at old gravestones in esoteric locations
I know how hard it is to do....... When such a book becomes available I
would REALLY add my name to the list of buyers!
