    3. Hi Group, Just to let you know, a couple of small cemetery lists with pictures of the tombstones have been posted. Susan Marston sent in McCullough Cemetery. Musgrove Cemetery was sent in by Louise Merritt. Lee Cemetery names were sent in by Harold Fisher. More names were sent in for several cemeteries from several contributors. Check those out! Susan also sent in some new names and some corrected names for the marriage records - White. Check out the "Lookup" section. More volunteers have been added. (It's under "Resources") Also, I have a tombstone picture project going on my Bibb County, AL GenWeb site (address below if you're interested). Volunteers are taking digital pictures of the tombstones and emailing them in to me. I'm posting those pictures on the web. If you are interested in doing this, below is how I prefer to receive information: *In the subject line, please write Neshoba - then the cemetery name (I have 5 genealogy websites, so I don't want to put the information the wrong place!) *Please write the information that is on the tombstone in the body of the email. I've found that many times I can't read the tombstone clearly, so after I've posted the information, I have to go back and correct the name or dates. Use this form for the tombstone info: Last, first, middle names, dates (I prefer the usual way ... May 2, 1890-I've tried to be consistant in my dates throughout the web; but sometimes there are just too many to change!), then any additional info (son of, dau of, wife of, etc.) You may put the tombstone "saying" if you'd like. Many times people leave it off because it is usually of no use to research. For naming the photos: *all lower case letters *lastnamefirstnamemiddleinitial (Last, first, middle initial --- bryantmarshah.jpg) *If two or more people share a tombstone, give last name and initials of both.... bryantmhtb.jpg (Bryant, M. H. & T. B.) If you already have them named differently, that's okay. I'll just rename them when I get them. The server does not recognize spaces between names and gives me an error message. I also need to be able to find them to link them, that's why I prefer last names first. If you already have pictures of your ancestors tombstones in Neshoba cemeteries, you are welcome to send those to me to post online. I hope all of the problems with the web have been cleared up! I think that I've fixed everything! Please let me know if you find something wrong. I'll be happy to try to correct it. I'd like to see this web grow. If anyone can think of ideas, please let me know. Happy hunting! Marsha http://us-gen.com/ms/neshoba http://www.rootsweb.com/~albibb
