PC-based technology is coming to the rescue of cemeteries -- and genealogy fans -- plagued by deteriorating, or lost, record problems. The Pontem Professional Cemetery Management Program developed by Resource Information Associates Inc. is designed to eliminate that loss. Site spokesman Richard Goss says faded, often handwritten records, sometimes based on index cards, can become too difficult to read or are lost. The Web site provides a program demonstration. The new software interactively maps and images cemetery burial records. Goss says that the index cards currently used by many cemeteries "are not the problem, its when the cemetery loses them or cannot coordinate the handwritten information on the burial record card with where the body is physically buried in the cemetery." "The Pontem Professional Cemetery Management Program not only makes it harder to 'lose someone' in the cemetery, but the program makes it easier for anyone doing family genealogy by allowing other images such as birth certificates, obituaries, photographs, death certificates, even photos of the headstone and favorite family photos of the deceased to be kept," Goss says. --------------61A06629F07F18F0C9B5C659 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="vcard.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Shalori Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vcard.vcf" begin: vcard fn: Shalori n: ;Shalori adr;dom: ;;;Rancho Cordova;California;95670; email;internet: Shalori@shalori.com tel;fax: 916. 8539039 note: Seeking Pennsylvania Ritter/Swoyer/Schmoyer/Schmidt/Warmkessel genealogies x-mozilla-cpt: ;0 x-mozilla-html: FALSE version: 2.1 end: vcard --------------61A06629F07F18F0C9B5C659--
