Hello, I wanted to call everyone's attention to a number of new files recently provided to the US GenWeb Archives here in Washington. The complete burial lists of twenty Thurston County cemeteries, in 22 files, have just been uploaded to the internet for the free use of everybody. These represent most of the cemeteries in that county, and the lists include the names of a number of famous figures in early Territorial and State history. The information was provided to the US GenWeb Archives through the generous cooperation of the Olympia Genealogical Society, and through the diligent hard work of Jerri McCoy, who transcribed and formatted each file for the internet. Jerri is well known in both the Olympia GS and the Washington GS, and is also the Thurston County GenWeb Coordinator. Other Washington counties with extensive cemetery records in the US GenWeb Archives include Klickitat, Stevens, Wahkiakum, and Whitman. To view the records, or for more information, check the following: Washington GenWeb Archives http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wa/wafiles.htm Washington Cemetery Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wa/wacem.htm US GenWeb Tombstone Transcription Project (national) http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/ Washington GenWeb Archives (FTP Access) ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/wa/ If anyone wishes to contribute other cemetery records, please contact me, we have some specific file requirements. As always, records in the USGW Archives are provided to the public free of charge or advertising of any kind. Thank you, Kevin Fraley (Swimref@cmc.net) Washington Manager, USGW Archives
