I’m excited to announce, all the Mecklenburg cemeteries in Find a Grave are now listed on the cemeteries page!
If you click on the words where the red arrow is pointing, (above), the page skips down to where that section begins, moving past the project information.
Words in red mean there wasn’t enough information for me to figure out what numbered area the cemetery is in (image below). I’m aware some people don’t want their family cemetery location known. I can do several different things, depending on people’s comfort level. I can be generally vague, only listing the area number on the website (without any map pin), which is a several mile range. Sometimes I marked a map pin in the middle of a main road or large field and said “estimated area.”
The hyperlinked blue “FAG” is a direct link to the cemetery, in Find a Grave. If a Find a Grave cemetery information page, quoted Munsey Moore’s cemetery book, I added the book and page number to our community cemetery page listing. To avoid confusion, where multiple cemetery listings used the same name, I added the name of a person buried at each cemetery, like the Lewis family example, (2 images above). If the title of the cemetery listed multiple surnames, each surname got a listing on the cemeteries page.
The cemeteries are grouped by church, family, and community cemeteries, (like town cemeteries). The list of churches with cemeteries has grown to about 125 churches.
The next part of the cemetery project is to go through the billion graves website and Munsey Moore’s two cemetery books, to add more cemeteries or see if there’s directions to help me find the currently unknown cemeteries. I’ve been Googling route numbers to look for the street names used today.
I’m creating church pages for each of the 125 churches with a cemetery. I’ve begun sending requests to photo submitters on Find a Grave and Google images, to see if they’re willing to share their church pictures on our community website, crediting the photographers.
I hope you can join us on our September 27th community video call on Google Meets! Check out the updates on the community map!
