Carole At this stage I have just indexed the photos of headstones in the Cemetery, but in the future I would like to do more research to find out those who may be buried there with no headstones. My husband's family lived in the area for years (some relatives still do!) and so historically it is very important to his ancestry. I just wanted to get the Index done and out there so I could share the great resource of the photos I had been given. I hope to go into it a little more in the near future.
