They all had wreaths on them which was beautiful. I'm heading to do silly PTA stuff, but I'll post them on Picasa and email the link later this evening when I have them up! <br /><br />Great idea. I hope you get more participation this time.

Some had solar lights, which I'd never seen before. <br /><br />Altogether a fantastic day.

I have a Civil War Vet there, Levi Howard. I have the location in the cemetery.<br /><br />I have taken hundreds of tombstone pictures in Massachusetts, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Have place many of them on Find-a-grave but some of the cemeteries are not on Find-a-grave.

Spent easily more than an hour photographing US vets from the Spanish-American War up to Afghanistan. Must be at least 100 veterans, their spouses and children.

I don't actually agree though that genealogists/volunteers should concentrate on one or two projects. <br /><br />I had this same discussion when my site Olive Tree Genealogy was bringing ships passenger lists online. I was the first site to do this, but others soon followed. ISTG had way more volunteers and lists came online faster.
