Till death do us part? Search beyond the grave.

c003_whitman_c_id1834Canadian search project CanadianHeadstones is working to create a searchable database of photos and inscriptions of all of the headstones in all of the cemetaries in Canada! (and they have started on Ireland and the US)  Thanks for the tip Steffen!

“The mission of this project is to capture digital images and the complete transcription of  headstones of our ancestors. As decades pass — many stones are becoming harder, if not impossible, to read the inscriptions they originally contained.”
