FindAGrave - My Activity Update

I've been putting a lot of effort into posting stuff at FindAGrave recently. I have tons of cemetery photos, so I've decided to share. I'm working on Woodlands Cemetery in Cambridge, NY right now. I still have over 1,000 photos to post from that cemetery. I've added about 2/3 of the listings for that cemetery.

I've also made a few special trips over the past month to do volunteer photos for others. I'm glad to be able to help out that way.

Anyway, I've reached some milestones in the past week. I surpassed 3,000 listings and 2,000 photos posted. Yay for me! ha-ha.

Free access to old newspapers

I've recently been enjoying the free newspapers at Fulton NY Postcards (don't let their website name fool you). They have tons of old New York newspapers scanned and available for browsing or searching. This includes papers from Glens Falls, New York. I even found some need obituaries from other areas of New York too.

I was particularly taken by this gem that I found about my second great-grandfather, Deranzel Henry, who rescued a drowning boy in the Battenkill River.



Since I'm writting about free access, Footnote is giving free access to their newspaper collection this month, so make sure to go do some searches before May is over.
