Glenn, if you know there are mistakes and feel that the VOLUTEERS who spent lots of time putting the database together aren't gathering information correctly, have you volunteered to help them? Mea culpa if that comes across as cranky--I woke up about 10 minutes ago and haven't had my coffee yet. :-) I just have this personal philosphy that if I'm not doing anything to help, maybe I shouldn't complain out loud about what others have at least *tried* to do. That's why I offered to submit the information I collected about my grandparents and great-grandparents--and then submitted it to Joe last night. Peace, Willie <--off to shower and start the coffee maker ;-)

Hi Willie and all Sorry I missed you. My wife and I were on duty at The Waynesboro Historical Society, last minute change of plans. Question 1 Fairfield is over the Mountian (Blue Ridge Summit) on route 16 and then at the foot of the mountian you double back toward Gettysburg and Fairfield is about 3 to 4 miles. (see Attachment) Question 2 I am already updating my list but GreenHill is being done by someone else and they are only to the M's so far.

Hello All, I have added another 20 pages to the Chambersburg book that I began posting last week. If you are interested in reading it then you can find it at http://www.midatlanticarchives.com Alan -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.407 / Virus Database: 268.13.1/466 - Release Date: 10/7/2006

Don't forget about the Find A Grave website: findagrave.com Ton's of cemeteries are listed there and you can add names, pictures, a little something about the person. Sometimes I've found a family member there that wasn't listed in any of the other databases we would normally look through. It's a great way to share, especially if you have any photo's including headstone photo's. Lora

Greetings! Well, my head is spinning from everything I found this weekend. I didn't get to visit nearly as many places as I'd hoped, but since I'm not far from Franklin County, there will be plenty of other visits. I was very impressed with the resources in the Alexander Hamilton Library's Pennsylvania Room. I spent about 1-1/2 hours there on Friday and 5-6 more there on Saturday. I could've easily spent 2-3 more days there. I spent a few minutes on the computer, browsing through Mr. Barnhart's cemetery index. Thanks to you and the others who put all the work into that, Joe! Two questions: 1--I think I found my g-g grandparents, listed in "Fairfield Union." Can anyone tell me specifically where that is? 2--Are there plans to update the database, and if so, may I contribute some information? For example, I noticed that my Walter grandparents and great-grandparents weren't listed. They're all at Green Hill in Waynesboro, along with a few of their children. The stones are all still in good condition and legible, so I'm guessing that their particular section of the cemetery hasn't been transcribed. (With the size of Green Hill, it's not surprising--transcribing the whole place would be a daunting task!) I'm happy to pass on what I have...just need to know where to send it. Thanks!
