Yahoo Groups
Yahoo Groups are going away or changing in such a way that I no longer feel they will be useful. Much of the data is already gone, file, photos, etc. It's already impossible to post messages there.It might be better to migrate to a Facebook group and I'll think about reforming all the Yahoo groups I formed for family history of various specific families there.
In any case, I just downloaded all the member lists of my Yahoo family history groups and will, as I have time, move the email addresses of those members into my email address book. Many of you are already in there.
Just in case, especially if you recently requested to join one of those groups, my family history email address is: familytracker@yahoo.com.
New Resources
I just discovered, today, a bunch of cemetery and headstone web sites that, when I have the time, I will add to the Links page. But here's some of what I found:
The first is the New York Gravestone Photo Project which aims to collect photographs of headstones all over New York State. It nicely indexes the photographs by county and surname. I hope to contribute to the site as I take cemetery photos.
Next is the New York Cemetery Project that is looking for volunteers although I don't know when that request was posted to their web site. It is similar to the Gravestone Photo Project but also includes obits, etc. You'll see that volunteer photographer are needed for many of the counties.
That's it for this time. I hope you're all well.
