Hi, There is a similar project going on in Escambia County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/index.htm There is a link to a list of Cemeteries of Escambia County http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/cemproj.htm They have a list of each person in each cemetery. I find this information very useful since I live in California. They also have a Cemetery Photograph registry http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/cemphoto.htm I would like to see yours display the photos large enough to be able to read them. Also I would like to know everything written on the tombstone. Thanks, John Rosique John E.
