----- Original Message ----- From: Donna Many hours have been spent recently compiling a new "Texas Cemeteries Directory" which is hoped to benefit every Texas Genealogy Researcher and at the same time encourage the preservation of our Cemeteries. The new Directory shows over 21,000 cemeteries found on line with information about where each one was found in an easy to use format. The directory includes information about those cemeteries that have been inventoried and where to find them. So far those who have visited this new Directory have made such comments as "What a neat idea." & "You've really hit on something here." In addition our web site hosts the list of cemeteries which have reached the protected status of "Historic Texas Cemetery" designation, whose program was developed by "The Texas Historical Commission". We also have a special page where those who have labored to write books about our cemeteries can announce the availability of those books, sell the books, buy a book, or trade them. Most well organized cemetery inventory projects sell the books to fund the project. We all know how expensive it is to work in our cemeteries and believe this is a vital part of encouraging their preservation. There is lots more to see, so come check us out, and while you're there leave a message about a neglected cemetery in our guest book. These posts are followed up on by the folks at "Save Texas Cemeteries" and the folks who manage the "Historic Texas Cemetery" designation program. With your participation it is our hope to encourage the location, inventory and preservation of our Historic Texas Cemeteries. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~txcemeteries/ We look forward to your visit, donna
