Nov 24, 2008 Civil War Compiled Service Records – I just found a site where we can look at these records for free until Dec 1.  You can’t download them for free, but at least you can read them and search for them yourselves.  Go to this link:  http://www.accessgenealogy.com/civil_war.htm.  On this link you’ll see many different databases that are available for free for the next week.
Nov 8, 2008 Announcing a new cemetery project!  We have already started to analyze each known cemetery in Perry County.  For each cemetery we will:

  • list all known transcriptions and note any differences;
  • list transcriptions of each marked tombstone;
  • upload photographs of each tombstone -= as they are sent to us;
  • upload photograph of each person buried – as they are sent to us by you;

Burns Cemetery was just completed.  Please visit this page to see what a “finished” cemetery page will look like.

This is an exciting project and one that I know will be extremely helpful to visitors of this website.  If you have photographs of your ancestor or his tombstone, please email them to me.

You will notice that we have just started putting the analysis of each cemetery on this site.  As I receive photos, either of your ancestors or their tombstones, I will give priority to that cemetery and work on that analysis before the others.  So send in your photos today!
