JMHO - I think the first thing to do would be to update the state Cemetery
page that Gina has to reflect the missing counties. Two of them, Grant and
Claiborne have pages in the HTML side, they are just not inked to the main
state page. Three other , Red River, Terrebonne and St, Martin do not have
a page in the State Cemetery Project. I think the easiest thing to do would
be to have a camera icon like Jo has on Winn to link to the separate photo
page which could remain in the archives with just a link from the state page
See Concordia Parish Archives Index for an example of linking to the
Concordia Tombstone Project which when followed leads to Gina's cemetery
page. I will be happy to help with set up. If we begin to get more
contributors, we may have to divide into regions corresponding to the
regional managers we already have. The archive architecture is the same.
What is uploaded to the archives via genrecords or by hand is all going to
the right place. We just have to make sure the links are consistent. If a
file manager already has a greats setup that they are familiar with and
handling well, then all we would need to do for that parish would be link
from the state page to the one the FM has built. It would help if the
cemetery photo pages were uniform but that should easy to fix with a footer
that is already in place for the tombstone project.
All thoughts on this appreciated.

I began thinking about Edward's tombstone project which took me on a quick
search of the Internet. The results were quite enlightening and I could see
where they could also be frustrating for the average researcher.
There are some cemeteries/tombstone photos on the GenWeb that are not in the
archives and vice versa. There are tombstone photos in
findagrave.com that
are not in the USGW.
Below are just a few of the sites that I located that has tombstone photos.
I did a search for gravesites and came up with many that are specialized (I
e. Movie stars, politicians, etc.)

This next one is limited, but the owner is always willing to allow sharing
of his tombstone photos.

I know that the site can be a wonderful asset, but it will take everyone
giving input to make it the best.
