David, I just go to Google and put in Fern Ridge Cemetery, Seal Rocks Oregon. Several lists come up. The one Colleen Nickerson did is the one that has so many errors. Lillian

Kenneth R. Ethell was born 22 November 1915 and died in Corvalis, Benton County, Oregon, in November 1987. I am seeking information to help find other family members by way of a correct date of death or an obituary. Thanks. Bob

Harry was the son of Thomas L. and Elnora Ethell and was born in Montana 3 February 1915 and died 3 December 1997 in Roseburg, Hood River, Oregon. I would like to find an obituary for him to help trace other members of the family. Is there a publication (newspaper) there where I could look? Thanks Bob

If anyone is planning to work on the Fern Ridge Cemetery at Seal Rock. Be sure to do your own searching etc. Because the lists for it on line are so bad, so wrong that they are useless. I have relatives there and have tried to get those lists taken off the internet with no luck. Lillian

I see programmer broke it while repairing another problem. He will fix it today for sure. Oregongravestones.org is only one that is subject to modification and upgrades along with additions of features as a guinea pig before he can update other states. Here's the one that is working.. Use the step: surname search, select county, and you will see list of all surnames of photos in that county. It's not broke when I checked to be sure.

Bob, I can't help with where to look but would point out that Roseburg is in Douglas Co., not Hood River Co. Beth

What I meant was the people who are taking the pictures not knowing just what was uploaded might waste a lot of time, people are going to have to study the site and know all the pictures already loaded so they do not duplicate them. This is why I was mentioning some one starting a work groups and doing things in an organized way. No one is going to pop out to a cemetery just to take pictures just to find out if they are already on the site . There should be an index " John Jones took pictures first 3 rows yadda yadda cemetery" So Charlie Chan can go get the next set. Should be a way people can sigh up and say what they are doing and when. Also there is no way most people will take tools and make it a work project, now I said * most* people, ** not all* because we have cleaned lots of them, I even found one that was 2 inches under sod, it was in my grandfolks plot, altho we have no idea who it is.

The GPP has the automatic indexing. As soon as photo is uploaded and approved, the name show up in indexes of surnames and in search results of given and surnames. Those ladies with known maiden surnames are also indexed and included.

Might just use full high sun, no shadows or at least minimal/ I am not planning on making special trips just to take pictures on the fly. But I do have a plan.

It will be an interesting project. Maybe it will be tough indexing what is sent and resent over and over unless people who are taking pictures first check to see what has been done already.
