Won't you please join in this endeavor? Won't you please organize interested individuals in your area into a group to record this important data? Local churches might be willing to have a few members record the data in the cemeteries on the church grounds. Genealogy clubs and societies are a natural to participate in a project of this nature. Or, individuals can go out and record the data themselves.

We are compiling the data and forwarding the files for deposit in The USGenWeb Project Archives for the appropriate state. You can certainly donate this data yourself directly to the Archives file manager for the state. Either way is fine, since our goal is to get the transcriptions archived. Visit The Ohio USGenWeb Archives page for more information.

If you would like to transcribe data for this Project, or if you already have cemetery surveys and would like to share that work with the world, please let us hear from you. Now, all that you need to do is to pick a cemetery to record and use our Cemetery Registration Form, which has a place for all of the information we need, to register that cemetery with us.

Visit The Tombstone Transcription Project's Getting Started Page for tips on surveying cemeteries, transcribing the inscriptions, and formatting the data.

Let's work together in this endeavor!

This Project is about remembering our dead and preserving our history!!

If you would like to transcribe data for this Project, or you have already done cemetery surveys and would like to share that work with the world, please let us hear from you.

All Cemetery Surveys, Gravestone Inscriptions, Tombstone Photos and other files related to cemeteries are posted in the OHGenWeb Archives. It is not necessary to submit files to both the Tombstone Transcription Project and the OH Archives.

Please understand, I am unable to respond to queries about ancestors, cemeteries, or do lookups! If a cemetery is not listed, we do not have any information available.

To submit a cemetery, please contact:
