At least weekly, the Cemetery discussion list sponsored by rootsweb receives pleas to help save an endangered cemetery somewhere in this country. In the spring and again early this summer we had a discussion on the [email protected] about needing federal protection for our pioneer cemeteries. With the willingness and expertise of Bill Spurlock that discussion has made a giant leap into becoming a reality. If this project is to be successful we will need the help of those interested in genealogy to get the word out to appropriate places. Hard Copy printable petition can be found at: http://www.savinggraves.com/petition/index.htm Check back at this site later-a postal address will be available to which the completed petitons should be mailed. An on-line petition is available at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/sg0001/petition.html While the petition is set to go active on July 4th and run until October 1st, it is working now and it is already being signed. If anyone wants to read more, please go to : http://www.savinggraves.com Look for the The National Cemetery Protection Act Petition Drive on the front page.
