Dear Users of the OGI,
Findmypast has released an amazing collection of 47,170 photos of gravestones in Norfolk graveyards. This collection is introduced on the What's New? section of the Findmypast blog.
"Norfolk resident Louise Cocker provided us with these amazing photos. Louise's mission is to document all of the graves and memorials in her home county and we'll be adding more to the collection over time."
What an amazing project! You can browse each collection by graveyard/church. There is no index linked yet to help you find specific family names. Maybe that will come later.
With this collection of locations and other items referenced below, the current total of data sets stands at 411,234.
Here are details about today's upload:
- FreeReg - 7 new data sets
- Lancashire OPC - 8 new data sets
- TINSTAAFL Marriage Project - 6 new data sets
- Findmypast, Norfolk Gravestone browse collection - 294 new data sets
- Cornwall, Mevagissey and St Goran Parish Records - 97 updated data sets
- Cornwall War Memorials - 329 new data sets
- Durham Records Online - 10 new data sets
- FamilySearchh - 29 new data sets (Bracknell, Berkshire Parish Record images)
- Gravestonephotos.com - 3 new cemeteries
I hope these will help you locate those allusive ancestors. One day, I might find more of my missing Manners line through headstones photographed or transcribed by enthusiastic volunteers.
Wishing you a good spring,
Tim Mannes
