The grave here is of my 1st cousin, 3 times removed of Rev. John Henry Lance. He was practically decapitated for preaching
against moonshine. He is buried in Old
Salem Cemetery, Union County, Georgia., just a few miles from Vogel State Park. I used his marker to get your attention.
I have hundreds, maybe thousands pictures of grave
markers. In the process of getting more
mileage out of my pictures I decided to go onto the website Find a Grave and
submit my pictures to their vast library.
I was surprised they already have a good many pictures of the same
graves I was going to donate, so far. I
just started doing this. I first chose
Bascomb Methodist Church near Woodstock.
I have about 30 pictures of relatives' graves there. Of the 30, they had already had about 24
pictures of the same graves. I only
donated 6, no need to duplicate what is already there.
I am posting this message to suggest, if you are into family
research and genealogy visit findagrave.com.
There is a good chance they have a picture of a grave that you are
interested in. And it would be nice if
you have any pictures to contribute it would
make them even bigger and better, for research. Of course, you may very well already be doing
this and I am the Johnny-come-late announcing the biggie long after everybody
else already knows it and utilizes it.

This is a great project. A lot of people are interested in finding graves. Some are looking for their families and others are interested in helping other families find their loved ones' graves or simply because they are just interested in graves. This project is going to help out families who are long been looking for their deceased loved ones lost gravemarkers.
