Well, I have been busy the last few weeks working with the Minerva Cemetery Assoc. and the Milam County Genealogy Soc. on a Texas Historic Cemetery Dedication Application ... This has consisted of going to the cemetery and taking an inventory / index of all of the marked graves, taking photos of each grave, collecting information on unmarked graves, searching newspaper obits, death certificates, family records ... The burial information and photos will be placed on-line for researchers once it is all collected and photos scanned ... It has been a great volunteer effort by over 20 folks who live in Milam Co. and/or have traved from out of town ... So, I have not been able to do too much on the Milam Co. TXGenWeb site but with summer, it has been a slow time-period anyway .... = = = = Friday, June 10th, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. - I will be working with the Minerva Cemetery volunteers searching the records at the Milam County Clerk's Office ... Saturday, June 11th, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. - I will be working with the volunteers at the Lucy Hill Patterson Memorial Library in Rockdale searching for obituaries .... If you would like to come out and volunteer to learn how to do these type of record searches, please stop by either day .... = = = = VOLUNTEER TYPING PROJECTS AVAILABLE Obituaries from the Rockdale Reporter 1996 - 2000 ... these will need to be re-typed so they can be added to our large collection of on-line obituaries on the RootsWeb Message Board for Milam County .... Please let me know if you would be interested in this project Lynna Kay Lynna Kay Shuffield - P. O.
