Deb Allison, "Find A Grave" contributor and current President of the Logan County Genealogical Society, has posted that the society plans to re-print updated versions of their Logan County cemetery books that were originally published in the 1980s.  However, extra help is needed from additional volunteers who could join them in walking Logan County cemeteries and recording gravestone inscriptions.

There are two email addresses attributed to Deb:

From her "Find A Grave" member page:

Thus, if you live in the Logan County, Ohio area and wish to participate with helping transcribe gravestone inscriptions at local cemeteries, please contact Deb Allison. 

Per "Find A Grave" there are over 100 cemeteries listed on their website for Logan County, Ohio.
