"Preserving Ohio's Cemeteries" on Facebook Focuses on Several Aspects of Cemetery Preservation and Gravestone Conservation

For those who are incorporating cemetery research in Ohio with their genealogical and historical pursuits, a reminder that "Preserving Ohio's Cemeteries", a closed Facebook group, focuses on a vast range of topics from documenting burials, properly cleaning gravestones with products and methods that do no harm, announcing upcoming cemetery preservation workshops, and updates on Ohio laws affecting cemeteries, etc.
