The mission of this project is to capture digital images of our ancestors’ gravestones. As decades pass, many stones are becoming difficult—if not impossible—to read, obscuring the inscriptions they once clearly displayed. By archiving these images, we help preserve these important records and provide a valuable resource for researchers.
