Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

Spotlighting a New Blog Listed Here -- "Passion for the Past"

Recently, I've been checking the links to other blogs located on the right-hand side and updating them.   I'm keeping those that have recent updates and removing those that have not had updates in several months. 

I added a new blog today:  "Passion for the Past" in the "Genealogy Blogs of Interest" category.  

One particular post from July 10, 2011 caught my eye:

"19th Century Mourning Practices (revised)"

Hope you enjoy reading "Passion for the Past" Blog as much as I do!
