The Louisiana Gravestone Photo Project

I would like to introduce you to The Louisiana Gravestone Photo Project: "The mission of this project is to capture digital images of gravestones of our ancestors. As decades pass -- many stones are becoming harder, if not impossible, to read the inscriptions they originally contained. By archiving the images, we can help save these important records and also assist researchers using this valuable resource."

You may submit your photo, browse for photos by parish, volunteer, or even search for your surname. Currently, they are looking for part-time volunteers to assist in uploading photographs. You may contact them to volunteer from the website URL above.

The Association of Grave Yard Rabbits

Welcome to the Louisiana Grave Yard Rabbit Blog. The purpose of this blog is to:

Promote the historical importance of Louisiana cemeteries and the family history to be learned from a study of burial customs, burying grounds, and cemeteries. I pledge to promote the study of Louisiana cemeteries, promote the preservation of these cemeteries, and promote the transcription, documentation and photographs of genealogical/historical information written or requested about these cemeteries.

This blog is part of a genealogy blog network called the Association of Graveyard Rabbits - formed by Terry Thornton. Please read Terry's web site for more information about the Association and the list of participating blogs.
