CEMETERY RECORDS & Gravestone Photo Project (GPP)
-I've started giving the individual cemetery pages a fresh look. Dale Woodmansee's book is almost 25 years old, and the directions he gave to each cemetery are outdated in many cases. I hope researchers will benefit from the updated directions. I'm also adding red Research Alert! notation when a 'Woodmansee Note' has been entered for that person. This project will take me some time, but I'll try to get a few done each week. Done to date are: Adventist, Bethlehem, Cherry Mound, Cleveland, East Paint Creek, Evergreen, Miner Farm & Smith cemeteries
