If you are facing east, reading the flat markers, do it in the morning if you are facing west, reading the flat markers, do it in the afternoon It is necessary to avoid any shades created by your body self. Standing monuments, - use both sun and shade feature as needed irrevelant of morning or afternoon. It's the flat markers that pose extra problems. > 3... In some cases you may have to take several pictures of same stone . do it by all means, also full view then close view of the engravings. This afternoon my friend and I went to a certain cemetery (yes Sunday today) and there was a standing monument that posed a problem, short but has 3 sides of information, both on metal plates and engravings below the plates, requiring at least 6 takes. > Maxine Wilton > [email protected]

Hi all; When you take pictures you should do the following at the same time; 1...Take with you items to brush off stone if needed. Take appropriate items to clean off a spot if needed to be able to read it. This may be needed in some instances depending on condition of stone and Cemetery. Also take several or more gallon jugs of water. 2...Take a notebook( spiral preferably and pens. IMPORTANT: Write down the information also for each one. Depending on weather on days and or age etc. of stone, camera used, settings of it, and maybe other factors, it may not be or part may not be Completely readable in finished picture. Also if using batteries keep a supply of new or recharged rechargeable ones. Also if using digital take additional clips for filing up with more pictures than the one you have in camera. 3... In some cases you may have to take several pictures of same stone . Maxine Wilton [email protected]

I am going to be gone all day, we are going to Cottage Grove, from Salem. Just to make things short. I am in favor of this project. I will try to get a group of people together here to help out. It does not matter if we ever get all the stones pictured, what matters is that we all try, also have fun doing it. Lots of people walked these places just to get the names of the stones, that alone is/was a massive project just in text. I can imagine the pictures could take up ( tera bytes). Big project. Dan M

Cool. David knows we are just draggin his chain a bit. He also know he is getting our attention this way. I have walked many a cemetery <G> There are ways to get a project announced, some times I ask a few questions or post a few things to get others to join in. The family obligations does take a preference for sure, I have a disabled wife, but there are times she does ok and we go do projects. This week end we had some people come to a small gathering for our family genealogy, we are going to grow it larger next time. There are some smaller ones here close I will do, no one else seems to pop up. It should be known who is going to do * what * places before hand tho so efforts are not duplicated. Also, I believe the ( oldest ) sites should be pictured first.

Dan- I don't know about the rest of the postings-but the photos I personally took and sent to David were the labor of love! NO one else had anything to do with them. I have taken over 6000 tombstone photos in the Baker County area. It is about 1/3 of Baker's Mt Hope Cemetery (-which I probably will not get to finish due to family obligations that preclude my own self indulgence).

neither of them. I'm footing the cost of server so all have place for sharing the photos. I hope eventually line up a monument company to be sponsor.

Is the State of Oregon behind this or another entity just trying to collect our work for free?

[snip] David, The only county accessible when I use the link above is Baker, which has a listing of several cemeteries. Where are the other Oregon counties set up? Beth

http://oregongravestones.org/ All counties are set up already with lists of known official names of cemeteries. Link to instruction for editing photos prior to uploading is on the home page Savvy ones might be offered positions of county coordinators once they understand how the GPP works. Currently there are several states: AZ, CO, IL, IA, MD, NE, NM, NY, OH, PA, UT and VA beside Oregon. And one up in Canada - New Brunswick. Let's get out and take photos of markers before they're gone for good. W. David Samuelsen, Oregon Gravestones Photo Project coordinator.

Hello, Would anyone have access to the City Directories in Oregon City, OR? I am looking for my ancestors who appeared in the 1930 Census as living there. I don't know when they arrived or how long they lived there. In the 1920 Census, they are listed in Maynard, MA. In the SSI, their dates of death are recorded as 1943 and 1952 respectively in Los Angeles, CA. Their names are as follows: Charles Everett Marchant (b 1868-Canada) & Laila May (Goodwin) Marchant (b 1869 NH) Thank you for any help you can give me. Appreciate your input.
