I heard of the big project, but never ran across it through Google searches. For reasons already stated herein, it seems like on a big scale a very good idea. In Iowa we have a similar but smaller project that lists (when done) tombstones in Iowa that have the word Ireland on them. Could this work in all states and in other countries?
