It is wonderful knowing that I can help other genealogists. It is also a healthy process, getting out in the fresh air and walking country cemeteries.Colleen G.

Then I ended up photographing 3 whole cemeteries (about 2,500 photos). It was very rewarding, and it's nice to know they've helped others.

Recently I have been realizing that I, too, have benefited from Find A Grave because their recently submitted work is now showing up on Ancestry.com as I have been working to verify peeps on my family tree. Names have been attached to Find A Grave pictures, where there were no names before -- those must be the new volunteers.<br /><br />And it is doubly generous of you to create a post thanking these volunteers. Those pictures are so useful and tell us so much!Mariann Reganhttp://mariannsregan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790218656177439568.post-68877283720985014552013-04-26T17:01:58.780-04:002013-04-26T17:01:58.780-04:00Cheri, thank you so much for writing this!

I know people that just do cemetery photos; they don't work on anything else genealogy related, and they deserve just as much attention as anyone else. Glad to hear someone was able to get into that private cemetery, too! How wonderful that persistence finally won the day in order to digitally preserve those stones. <br />Thank you so much for "paying it forward" with me! ~ JenJen Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905942488752843544noreply@blogger.com
