Well I recently visited graveyards in Co Monaghan doing research for someone. I met a few people walking around a graveyard looking for their relatives, they were complaining about the lack of information available online for graveyards. During the course of the conversation I asked which g/yards they visited and if they had taken many pictures. They had visited 4 graveyards but taken no photos. With the advent of digital cameras it wouldn't take much to photograph all the g/stones as people go around in their search, then post them on line. They were walking past them anyway. Many cemeteries only have 30 or 40 g/stones. If only 20 people visiting g/yards in Tyrone this year did this then we'd have a lot more information than we do now! So if you're visiting a graveyard this year why not "Adopt a graveyard"? On 19/12/2009 07:05, Ray wrote: > Hello John.
