Right now I am working a cemetery in Johnson County, Indiana. It's in Glenn's Valley. I sent the camera with my granddaughter on a trip to California with instructions to bring back pictures of headstones. We'll see if she does. It will be interesting to see what she bring back.

Wherever I happen to be!! While my husband was hospitalized 250 miles from home, I'd take breaks from the hospital by going to a cemetery less than a mile away (wasn't it considerate of them to have a cemetery so close to the hospital?) and take photos.

I take them wherever I go.

I live around Buffalo, NY - so I volunteer mainly around here. But I used to live in Ohio, so when family vacations take me back home - my camera goes with me. Anytime I'm out driving around, I look for cemeteries. Anytime I'm visiting cemeteries for my own personal research, I always try to snap other stones in the cemetery as well.

I am in the St Louis, MO area. I have found one particular cemetery that I am doing most of my requests out of. Calvary cemetery. I will be doing this one forever due to it has over 180,000 gravestones.

Most of my Cemetery Visits come from a Photo Request from Find-A-Grave. So, its basically in the North Western part of New Jersey. Morris (western part), Hunterdon, Sussex, and Warren Counties.

However, my ancestors were from Maryland, Pennsylvania, and south Jersey, I take pictures as I go. Trying to get some of them posted on Find-A-Grave and on my Blog. I try to keep them in sync. My wife's ancestors go from New York state into Massachusetts, so I take pictures there as well.

Being retired, we can and do take "day trips" to visit cemeteries.. Any excuse will do.

I have taken pics of my local family but most of my requests also come from find-a-grave. I also take several shots and will take pics of nearby graves with the same surname. You never know if they are related. I live in a small town in Alabama and most of the time they are related and the person requested did not know where they were buried. If they aren't related, I just delete them after I add memorials to find-a-grave.

Most of my photo work is done in Western Kentucky, mainly Trigg, Christian and surrounding counties, but I have done several other counties as well. Right now I am working on two seperate cemeteries here in Trigg County when I am not doing other researching. But I take my camera every where I go just in case I get a chance to get some photo. I normally post them to findagrave. Just the other day my husband and I were driving down a road we had been hundreds of times and I looked off to the side of the road and I noticed a cemetery that I had never noticed before, and as soon as I can we are going back so I can photograph it.

Most of my photographing is in one cemetery, Ilwaco Cemetery, in Ilwaco, WA. There is only one other cemetery in the vicinity and I haven't gone there yet.

Hi, Dee Dee... I just sent you an add friend request.. I have family in the Louisville, MS area. I was down there 2 years ago and found a treasure trove of info including records to complete my DAR application. I would love to connect with you to see if we can help each other out. I happen to live in Delaware. I'm about 15 minutes from Philadelphia. I'll be at a convention this weekend, but feel free to send me an email of your needs and I will see what I can do. Take care, Aleta :)
