Thanking Krista for all of her extensive research on the topics that impact cemeteries and the preservation of them, particularly here in Ohio, ranging from stressing the importance of documentation, understanding how the Ohio Revised Codes (laws) impact Ohio's cemeteries, and the importance of researching burial records including the W.P.A. individual veterans' grave cards, and the companion records mostly popularly known as the W.P.A. Cemetery Plat or Plot Maps that are most often found on county Recorder's websites. Krista points out on the Ohio map the counties where we are still looking to find those cemetery maps for that county. The Civilian Grave Cards at the O.H.C. are also discussed in this presentation.
How protecting and preserving our ancestors' gravesites helps let their legacies live on through the generations that come after them. We can do our part to grant them the respect they deserve and to ensure they are not forgotten.
Thank you to the Ohio History Connection and to the Ohio Genealogical Society -- Ohio's most respected resources for Ohio history and Ohio genealogy -- for facilitating this presentation to the public. Krista Horrocks' presentation is important for all of us researching our ancestors' lives. Krista does a wonderful job of bringing it all together in a comprehensive manner on this vast subject, thus enhancing our education and answering so many of our questions.
