    1. [NYNEWYOR] How to easily search the GRAVESTONE INSCRIPTIONS OF GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY
    2. Mary Thiele Fobian
    3. It is NOT necessary to actually visit each of the 22 pages of inscriptions and search within each page for all the surnames you're researching. Here's how to do it easily: 1. Go to google's Advanced Search template at http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en 2. In the "Exact Phrase" box, enter GRAVESTONE INSCRIPTIONS OF GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY 3. You can now do one of the following: a. enter ONE of the surnames you're researching in the "with all of the words" box , then click on the "Google Search" button OR b. enter multiple surnames you're researching in the "with at least one of the words" box, then click on the "Google Search" button (I recommend searching for one surname at a time, as described in 3a.) This search will look for instances of the surname(s) in all 22 pages of the cemetery inscriptions simultaneously.

I checked one name I have, but have many others to find, possibly in Green Wood but I don't know...with so many loose ends, it will be pretty tedious to go through all 22 pages (I have a LOT of folks unaccounted for as far as cemeteries go). Thanks Joyce In a message dated 4/5/2007 4:33:30 A.M.

Now in the spring of 2007 it is complete. There are 22 pages of gravestone information. Apparently the people who originally wrote the info from the stones walked up and down the rows gathering this info. Therefore it is by gravestones, not alphabetized or by section. There is a search engine on each page that will help you BUT there are many many names that will repeat through out the 22 pages so be sure to check them all. With great appreciation to: Linda Clark Pat Eckhardt and an apology for taking so look to get this project up and running. _http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Cemetery/GW1.html_ (http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Cemetery/GW1.html) GRAVESTONE INSCRIPTIONS OF GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY, BROOKLYN Family History Center Film *017533 ____________________________________ See what's free at _AOL.com_ (http://www.aol.com/?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503) . ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ___________________________________ The Bklyn Info Pages Website: www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/ List Administrator: NancyL916@aol.com Post to List: nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com ___________________________________ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYBROOKLYN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/p/r/e/Joyce-Presnall/index.html_ (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/p/r/e/Joyce-Presnall/index.html) Many Brooklyn and NY names ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ___________________________________ The Bklyn Info Pages Website: www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/ List Administrator: NancyL916@aol.com Post to List: nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com ___________________________________ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYBROOKLYN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
