The "GPP" is thought to be the largest online collection of gravestone photos anywhere on the Internet. The project, which was introduced in January 2003, allows genealogy researchers to search its large database for surnames of interest within any of Iowa's 99 counties or by doing a full statewide query. Researchers and volunteers can also quickly upload their digital images of gravestones to add to the database. There is no charge to search the database or to add one's own photos. The Iowa Gravestone Photo Project is part of the IAGenWeb and can be found at: http://iowagravestones.org "Thank-Yous" go out to every one of you who have played a role in the success of the Gravestone Photo Project these past 21 months. Those of you who have not yet visited the site are encouraged to do so. If you have digital photos of your ancestors gravestones, you will find them easy to add to the database. The result could be contact with yet-to-be-discovered cousins interested in the same surnames. Rich Lowe IA Gravestone Photo Project Coordinator http://iowagravestones.org
