Anyone see a way to be a find-a-grave photo volunteer in more then one zip code? I tried putting in more then more using a comma but didn't work.

I love taking pictures of the old graves. I am currently working on my family's cemetary. It is very interesting. I am also taking photos of headstones for other people on Find a Grave.

If anyone is interested in a plot map for Marietta Cemetery, Lancaster County, PA - I have one in a couple of jpg files. It is just a map - no names. The names of the plot owners (NOT the persons buried in each plot - but who paid for them) is available at the Lancaster County Historical Society. You must view there - they will not release it. All I can supply is the plot map.

Robin,
You might also check to make sure the cemetery[ies] are not one and the same. I have 2 cemeteries I work with that were once known by another name. One was a different name about 60 years ago. And one was known by another name before the church was built 1866. In which case, they should be consolidated.

Robin: My son's relatives in eastern NC do the same thing. At first it confused me, but my brother-in-law explained it. Some of the members of the family gave up their plot - when the marker was listed for both husband and wife - in an emergency situation upon the death of another family member. Then, when that member died they were buried in another family plot with a single marker. It drove me batty when I was researching the family. However, in this particular family there are about six grave plots involved.

I have a question! There is a marker listed for a relative at two seprate cemetaries... same marker. however, the owner is not accepting comments or emails at this time. How do we figure out which it is

Yesterday I was on fag and had requested some info to be put on a couple of the memorials and the contributer transferred the memorials over to me! That was so nice of her.

Yeah! I had success again due to another findagrave.com volunteer. My mother's friend knows little about his family. I found his grandparents listed on findagrave and requested a photo and someone posted one yesterday!
I also found a photo request for a photo that I had in my files. I love being able to help someone else. It's been a good findagrave week! :)

I found that most National Cemeteries have already been entered on FindaGrave. The problem is that they enter only the name, rank, branch of service, birth year and death year. Zip that is it. When I found that is all that was on there for my husband, I just entered him again, with the necessary details, Photos of him and his gravemarker, and a proper obit. It stayed that way for several years, now I find that someone has combined the two entries with all my information left in tact. It had allowed me to add his photo to the original entry, so when they combined them, it was there twice, so I just went in and deleted the duplicate. I am fine with combining them, as long as everything I entered was kept, as it was. At the time when I added the second record, I had no idea how I was going to access the original records and add the necessary data on him. Perhaps someone knows how the entry of a relative in a National Cemetery can be accessed to add the nessesary items that have not been added by the person who put them in there to avoid duplicates.
