Hello everyone, It has been a busy summer that is for sure. Between trying to nail down this contract job as a permanent position, which looks good, and just trying to keep up with everything my research has taken a big dip. The time I do have I spend in Parker County Cemeteries taking pictures and recording information about them. I have actually started a website that will include my family research, but will also cover Texas Cemeteries. My current project is to photograph every tombstone in every cemetery in Parker County. I have already completed 4 or 5 cemeteries and have about another 5 half done. The problem is not photoing everything it is sorting it all out and putting it in a spreadsheet to upload to the website. Once I get a little more information up I will forward on the link. I have a few hundred pictures from Red River County, but I really need to make another trip up and do some serious photoing....maybe during that get together that everyone was talking about so much...I would love to meet everyone....

Drew, I made a couple of trips up to Red River County a couple of years ago and got well over a hundred pictures of gravestones from several cemeteries. I'll between us and several others on this list we could put together an impressive database gravestones. I wonder if there would be space on the Red River County Genweb page?
