Bio Photo Hello Fellow Gravers!!!

I am working with a wonderful group of volunteers called IWPP (International Wargraves Photography Project). What we are doing is cross-checking the uploads and correcting any errors and duplicates made on National Cemeteries. This is a major ongoing project and if you can find time to help assist us it would be greatly appreciated.

National Cemeteries completed as of 2013:
Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery Cross County, Arkansas
Delaware Veteran Memorial Cemetery New Castle County, DE
Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery Sussex County, DE
Fort Snelling National Cemetery Minneapolis, Minnesota

National Cemeteries currently being Reviewed:
Alabama National Cemetery Shelby County, AL
Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery San Diego County, CA
Golden Gate National Cemetery, San Mateo County, CA
Long Island National Cemetery, Suffolk County, NY
**********************************************
Please make sure your Assigned # and any Memorial # is listed along with an explanation. Without this information your request may be delayed or ignored and it just makes it so much easier.

Do not demand to have your request(s) taken care of: Please and Thank You goes a long way.

If your correction is not completed within a couple of days do not send a second request. Find A Grave has a thirty day policy to have your corrections honored and as the Guidelines state Have Patience it will get done.
**********************************************
Duplicates: There are quite a few duplicate cemeteries and memorials being made. We are human and do realize errors happen as none of us are perfect but to make a duplicate "just because" is a big no-no. **********************************************
Transfers: Recently I received a large amount of transfer requests from the same contributors so I will be adhering to the four generation rule (siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren). I will not transfer bulk surname requests so please do not ask Transfer Request Guidelines.

If you do not want the memorial transferred but have accurate information to add, I will be more than happy to add it and credit you with the information.
**********************************************
Lastly, WE are here to help each other and WE are all volunteers to this amazing website. So please try to be considerate when making requests, nastiest isn't becoming to anyone.

Happy Hunting!

RE: George Nicolos Martigopoulos
Sorry - I even searched for him by just first letters of his names and dates and came up empty. I even tried using his middle name as his last name - Sorry =[

RE: Ft Rosecrans
You're very welcome! You did mention it. =] I actually wrote it down so I make sure I had done my other requests so I would be available to claim your requests. I actually figured out how to view all the new additions to Ft Rosecrans so hopefully we can get plot numbers for them. They say that Rosecrans will be "filled" by the end of the year and all new burials will be at Miramar unless a spouse is already there. I have some questions about your memorial for Warren Craig Harding - I'll send a SAC. Talk to you later.

RE: George Nicolos Martigopoulos
I am having a blast! I really miss her but we talk almost every day - still not the same as much fun as living near each other. Right now all my grandchildren have PAWS so we're all good! I will be headed out late morning and will see if we can find George with that last name. I thought it took a lot of doing to get someone move from one cemetery to another and if you're working with the file that was imported from the VA you would think there wouldn't be as many no longer at Ft Rosecrans. I'll post the photos for your requests later today. =]

George King's memorials
Cindy:

I have tried contacting find a grave, but to no avail; no answer... Would you know who is taking care of George King's memorials? I have run across a lot of my family and my stepfather's family at Mount Calvary Cemetery, Steubenville, Jefferson, Ohio.

I have also been adding a few memorails at a time from internment records of those that are overlooked when I am researching a name from Mount Calvary Cemetery records.

Can you help out with this?

RE: Ft Rosecrans photos
My daughter and I were in he middle of a conversation when I noticed the requests. Another volunteer claimed some of them but we managed to claim a couple. When my daughter said she wanted to go first thing in the morning I'm hoping she meant west coast time. =]

RE: Ft Rosecrans
You're very welcome. I thought I was going to finish up today but I got behind in doing "stuff" before my daughter's flight gets in today. Maybe she'll go with me since she added herself a couple months ago. It really does help with photo requests. Who knows - she might be able to claim a couple at Rosecrans. You know I'll be looking for your next batch. =]
