Tombstone Transcription Projects

Some days I love the internet. While surfing around for genealogical information, I stumbled upon a terrific resource in the National Tombstone Project. Volunteers transcribe the inscriptions of headstones suffering the ravages of time, sometimes taking photographs and adding information found in the cemetery's records, and share their findings in a national database. Here is the Maryland site, which I used to locate the Beall Family Cemetery off of Bel Pre Road.
