Free
Pictures to Selected Gravesites
Looking for an ancestor’s
grave? This might help. Dave Distler has been doing historical and
genealogical research on his family lines in Monroe County, Ohio. He recently announced his project to make
photos of gravesites available to other researchers. These data are available free as described by Dave below. Dave also has a pay-for-service website at: http://orvf.com.

I
have been photographing hundreds of headstones and updating my orvf.com
database with selected interments in Summit Township cemeteries over the past
couple of years.

Feel
free to link to it from your web pages. You may use this text to create a
new html page if you wish.
Visitors
to individuals in findagrave can add additional photos of the headstone or the
individual or simply leave digital flowers as a reminder of their visit.
There
may also be individuals in these cemeteries that I have not listed. The
only ones I have listed are those already in my database. New listings
can be added by anyone registering at findagrave for free and adding their
listings. Be sure the individual is not already shown.
I
hope sharing this information will be of help to you and others. My
main database contains only allied families and lineage-linked
individuals, either of myself or my wife.
My
direct Monroe County lines include the surnames: DISTLER, MORRIS, JUNG (YOUNG),
LEISURE, VAN FOSSEN and SWAIN.
While
not 100% documented, my direct line is to William MORRIS b. 1782 Greene Co., PA
d. 1843 in Monroe Co., OH.
