The mission of this project is to capture digital images of gravestones of our ancestors. As decades pass, many stones are becoming harder, if not impossible, to read the inscriptions that they originally contained. Many stones are disappearing from natural disasters, weather, invasion by man and general wear from age.
By archiving the images, we can help save these important records and also assist researchers using this valuable resource.

We are currently seeking volunteers to help take and upload photos for many parishes. We need photos in every parish and also have a need of Parish Coordinators in many parishes. If you have an interest in volunteering for this rewarding part-time activity please contact us.
