Sharing this recent news about Ohiogravetones.org
Connie K. Schumaker is now the State Administrator for Ohiogravestones.org. and below are some of her comments about this website solely devoted to gravestone photographs from Ohio cemeteries that she wishes to share:
"Since I have taken on state admin for Ohiogravestones I have set a few
goals for myself; promote the site to let more Ohio researchers know we
are here, increase the number of gravestone photos added to the site, and
add volunteers as county coordinators.
If any of you have not been to http://ohiogravestones.org/
stop by and look around. All 88 Ohio counties are listed. Some have a
few photos and others have over 10,000 - 16,000 plus photos like in counties: Union,
Richland, Stark, Meigs, Franklin, & Montgomery. I would like to
see the numbers for each county grow. So, if any of you out there have
photos, even if it is only a couple, I ask that you take a couple minutes
and submit them to Ohiogravestones.
If
someone has a photo of the cemetery and/or the sign of the cemetery
they can submit those too. Just where the submission box asks for
Surname put the word "Cemetery" and then the name of of the Cemetery in
the box that asks for first name. If you have
a photo of a sign of the cemetery in the Surname box put the words
"Cemetery Sign" and the name of the cemetery in the box for the first
name. Then in the comment box you can add information as to the
location, condition of the cemetery and directions on how to find it."

"Thank you for visiting OhioGravestones.Org."
****PLEASE NOTE:****
"We are currently seeking
volunteers to help take and upload photos for many cemeteries across
Ohio. If you have an interest in volunteering for this rewarding
part-time activity please contact the state administrator."
