"Ohiogravestones.org" is an ever growing resource on the internet; gaining 697 new Ohio gravestone photographs in the past week alone.
You may wish to try your hand at using the advanced search offered on this website as I did this morning. I searched just using the parameters of June 1, 2014 through July 16, 2014 for new gravestone photographs added during that timeframe; not using any other information for the search, and the result produced an alphabetic listing of 2,157 matches of gravestones that were added during that time.
"Ohiogravestones.org" differs from "Find A Grave" in several ways. A photograph of a gravestone is required for posting on "Ohiogravestones.org" whereas that is not the case on "Find A Grave."
"Ohiogravestones.org" has each of Ohio's 88 counties set up with individual administrators who review your submissions before they are approved and posted. "Find A Grave" offers 'instant posting' by member contributors. However, because of this, there is the increased possibility for creating duplicates or other types of errors due to the lack of the 'extra pair of eyes' to review the information.
