HI, I live in Columbus, OH and a few weeks ago a major storm came through. The Union Cemetery in Columbus had many mature trees in it. They did not endure the 80 mile per hour winds well, I drove past a few days later and there was a lot of damage, I drove past again this morning and some of the broken trees and large branches have been removed and I am sad to say I saw lots of damaged tombstones. So I would like to ask a favor of all of you with digital cameras please check FindAGrave.com to see if your ancestors memorials are there and photographed. If not please try to find some time to get to your ancestors memorials and photograph them and post the information on Find A Grave, for us all to share. You can photograph more if you like and have time, but just doing your relatives would be a big help. I have photographed most of Good Shepherd and I have added about 1/4 of the memorials listed in Find A Grave for Alsace Cemetery. So if you check Find A Grave you will see a large number of memorials there. And I live in Ohio and I can find time during my visits to Reading to photograph, so please try. Michelle in OH
