Please note.........our website has moved. Please bookmark the new url... http://www.uscemeteryproj.com
Our goal is to get every headstone in every cemetery in every state online to help preserve these headstones as well as to:
help others in their research
help those who can not or are unable to visit these cemeteries themselves.
With so many cemeteries getting and being obsolete and/or endangered, and with so many headstones being weathered, broken, stolen, vandalized, etc. etc. we would like to preserve these as well as the newer cemeteries and headstones for the present and future genealogists and family members and to honor the memories of our and your loved ones. Please help us in our endeavor by volunteering to transcribe and photograph headstones in a cemetery near you. Headstone photos you already have are also more than welcomed!!!
The copyrights of any cemetery transcription and/or photos belong to the submitter and will remain their copyright even though they are posted on our sites. Please be sure to let us know if you want your email address linked to your name or not when we put the information and/or photos you submit on our sites as the submitter. Email address linked to your name is totally optional.
We hope you understand that we only have access to the materials that are submitted to the website, so please don't ask us to do research for you. However, we usually don't mind giving pointers as to where you might look next. Many, many hours are involved in creating the pages for these websites and we all have our
own research that we like to do in addition to jobs and families. We do try hard to get your information on line as quickly as we can.
If you would like to submit an obituary please see our Obituary Submission Guidelines. A small biography of an ancestor or loved one is welcomed as well. Please do not copy from a copyrighted published article or book.
NOTICE!
Due to high volume of emails regarding linking up to already transcribed and/or photographed cemetery websites, we will no longer be accepting links to different websites. HOWEVER, if you would like to share by submitting the information and/or photographs to us, we will be more than happy to add them to our website. OR, if you would like to Volunteer to transcribe and take photographs of a cemetery near you please let us know! Thank you!
