Our goal is to complete a photographic inventory of all abandoned and no longer used cemeteries in Franklin County. At the same time we are happy to take photographs for family historians, and others who are interested in the cemeteries and history of Franklin County, Ohio.
We will gladly take photos of gravestones in any Franklin County cemetery.
We will also visit most surrounding counties to take photos.
Please write to us with any requests—GenealogyBug@Gustafson.net.
