Spotlighting: "Ohio Cemeteries" - Featuring FamilySearch.org

Many of us who also engage in genealogical research (which I firmly feel goes hand-in-hand with locating and visiting gravesites) are aware of the advantages of researching through the free website "FamilySearch.org."

There is so much to explore on "FamilySearch.org" and more new links are added almost daily.  

I would like to share here one page in particular:  "Ohio Cemeteries"  AND extend my personal appreciation to "FamilySearch" for including "Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in Ohio" blog on their list of Ohio cemetery resources!  

So, please take some time soon to enjoy checking out "Ohio Cemeteries"

Sharing Updated Information about Williams County, Ohio's WPA Cemetery Plat Maps

I learned today from Patti Rockey of the Williams County Recorder's Office that their WPA Cemetery Plat Maps are now all posted on their website! 

The maps are arranged alphabetically by township name with cemetery names listed alphabetically within each township.  

A real bonus for a researcher, is the additional historical information that details the entire history of the WPA program (Works Progress Administration / Works Projects Administration).  

Many younger folks, in particular, may not be well versed in this important part of American history and its direct impact on those who were out of work during the long years that were known as The Great Depression.
