pqrstar, I liked that website. Quite a resource. I met a couple of men a few years back who volunteered to document cemeteries in the area where they live. They were just ordinary men. Both retired veterans who had heard about the project. They would take a picnic and a big cooler of water and make a day of it when they had time. They took photos and wrote everything that was on the headstones and documented any unreadable headstones. They turned the info into an organization who posted it on a website and kept records. All volunteers.
