Hello gang:
This is just a little off topic, but I believe many of you will be
interested. The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), the heir to
the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), is currently in the process of indexing
all burials of Union Veterans. For those of you who are currently working on
indexing a cemetery, this would not be much additional work since you may be
noting veterans as you go. For those of you working on your genealogy, you
may know where your ancestors are buried and may submit them. You can find
more information at:
http://suvcw.org/graves/graves.htm
All of the information is there as well as the forms for submitting your
burials. Anyone with Confederate veterans...that information will be
forwarded to the proper organization as well. I hope many of you participate
and spread this information to other researchers so that the database is as
complete as possible.
OK....back to our normal business....
Thanks,
Kyle D. Conrad
