Hello Freddie,
We are pleased to announce that the Virginia Gravestone Photo
Project
is officially online. This is a not-for-profit all volunteer
genealogy and a historical preservation web site dedicated to
the
documenting of tombstones through photography and transcription
across
Virginia. This is based on the same technology as the Iowa and
Arizona Gravestone Projects, among others. Other states now
coming on
line are Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois.
http://virginiagravestones.org
Volunteers are needed for submitting gravestone photographs as
well as
coordinating a county. Coordinating is a simple process on
reviewing
a photograph before approving it to go online and not much
else. We
have a simple and intuitive process for these submissions and
all are
fully searchable by county, cemetery, and surname. This
project is
not affiliated with any other organization. We would be very
pleased
if you would consider placing a link to the URL shown above and
if
possible to forward this message to your county volunteers.
Thanks,
Mike Jarvis
Virginia GPP Coordinator
