Tuesday evening Patty Foley gave an excellent demonstration on preparing and posting photographs to the website Find A Grave. Her outline listed the specific steps to follow in resizing pictures of gravestones. If you were unable to attend, her outline was attached to Dick's meeting notice.
This is a great way to "give back" to the genealogy community. If you have ever used www.findagrave.com you already know how helpful that site can be for learning more about your ancestors. It is a collection of 77 million grave records, many including photos of headstones and/or obituaries and family groups.
If you are taking a field trip to your home cemetery, check Find A Grave before you go to see whether anyone has posted a request for a photograph of a tombstone. OR, look for a cemetery on Find A Grave that you are unable to visit and post your own request.
