I did it just now to see how the procedure works - easy! This is what you would need to do....... 1) Volunteer for a state and I will keep track of them. 2) Go to findagrave and search for hatcher in that state. 3) if a Hatcher does NOT have the tombstone icon, click on his/her name to bring up his/her page. 4) At the bottom right of that page, you will see the Request a Photo icon. 5) Click it and if you're not already registered, you must register. 6) Otherwise, enter your email addy and password. 7) If someone has already requested a photo, you need do nothing. 8) If not, all you need to do is click Submit 9) Continue this process untill all Hatchers with no pic have had a request made. If/when someone sends you the pic or a notification that it is now on findagrave, just let me know and we'll get it online. Any takers?? Nel

   You can only do 20 request a week. I started on virginia. First i pulled up cemetery name "Hatcher" and did those.. then i started on any cemetery with a Hatcher, and did about 15. anyway, some of the 365 hatcher burials in va have been requested.  ----- Original Message ---- From: nelhatch <[email protected]> To: HATCHERLIST <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, October 21, 2009 7:33:22 PM Subject: [HATCHER] I have an idea.....!

And obviously Virginia would be a huge state to deal with. But I'd bet we could knock out a whole bunch of smaller states with just a half dozen volunteers. Nel

I forgot to add that once a photo request is placed on a marker, another one may not be placed, and so anyone else working on the same state can't duplicate effort. A note will come up saying a photo request already exists on that marker. I am a volunteer for Find-a-grave, but i am not able to walk a great distance any more because of back pain.. anyone know a good "Natural herb" for back pain? I HATE dr's.
