I’ve had three small projects I wanted to do: get my grandparents’ graves onto Find A Grave add some veterans to Find A Grave in honor of Veterans Day (thanks to Heather Rojo and Nutfield Genealogy for motivating others to transcribe local veterans monuments — all our local monuments are nicely transcribed already so I [...]
