For those of you who may have connections to Fayette County, I invite you to have a look at the Fayette County Cemeteries online. In March 2005, we undertook the task of identifying, locating and documenting the cemeteries of Fayette County, PA, as part of the USGenWeb project. Our goal was to make this information freely available to both local and long distance researchers. With the help of some very dedicated volunteers, this has become a reality. We've spent the past few weeks updating the site in time for Memorial Day. We now have about 20,000 veteran's burials documented. 29 new cemeteries have been added, for a total of 484. 40 cemeteries have had major updates of added information and corrections. Over 4,000 new entries have been added for a total 43,400 burials. There are over 200 pictures of the entrances to the cemeteries and thousands of individual head stone pictures. While the project is nowhere near completed, we have made tremendous progress in documenting the burials of our ancestors. As progress, the elements and vandalism take their toll, the family plots and country cemeteries shrink and disappear. This is our effort to see that those buried there are never forgotten.
