I uploaded about 300 stones, which accounted for 300-325 people buried in the cemetery.

Thank you Lena. There are soooooo many bad tombstone readings from the past. The digital photos really help show all the information on the stone, if it's visible. If you let Thelma know about any mistakes, she will correct any bad listings. I just found one on Rebecca Lucas Brelsford. The readings errors are really common everywhere. A photos inventory also help find all those stone that were not recorded. I find these in every cemetery I work through. It helps to take all the footstones too, this will identify the missing tombstones. You folks on this list should add your old photos too. At least people researching can find where their ancestors were buried. And that usually helps them find the way to more documents and family. Find A Grave is a great place to leave -your link- to others looking for your ancestors. I've made several connections by posting my own family members on this site. Find-A-Grave only requires your email and a password to post burials or photos and they have never emailed me with junk. It's a great site. All the cemeteries are listed on Find-A-Grave for Tippecanoe County. Most of the large ones are not complete, but the smaller ones are. One lady is coming along nicely on the largest one Springvale. [17,000] She is using original records, I think she is up to 'H' now. There are a few cemeteries listed several times from folks that didn't spell the name the same way or some who knew the cemetery by other names. This is an obvious thing when you view this link on Tippecanoe County. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScnty=870 Some folks didn't do the search first, they just created a new name. We have 134 known cemeteries in our county. I think there are 170 listed on FAG. So you can see some didn't look before they leaped. :-) I have tried to collect the best of these links on my page, listing them by township. http://www.rootsweb.com/~intcpcrg/TippecanoeCountyIN_Cemetery_List.html Adina cemetery page on the Genweb has them A to Z order. http://www.rootsweb.com/~intippec/tcem.html Also for anyone interested in looking at the new database from Area Plan, it is now online. This is a PDF file that takes Adobe Reader to open. This link goes directly to the file. This is a listing of all the 134 cemeteries in Tippecanoe Co. Pretty cool! http://www.tippecanoe.in.gov/egov/docs/1126713330_814361.pdf The fact is, these old cemeteries are still disappearing even with new laws to protect them. Big business will pay to have them moved or the fines after they are destroyed or bulldozed. Go photograph please!
