What is the Cemetery Project?

It's a data base of family headstone inscriptions YOU submit of YOUR family members buried in Westchester County. With cemeteries in Westchester, as large as Gate of Heaven or Kensico, it's almost impossible to catalog them. Here is an opportunity to create a sizeable data base which eventually can be linked to the Tombstone Transcription Project by just adding family by family. Only tombstone inscriptions NOT on a national Westchester website are eligible to be listed here.

To submit your family's information, send an email to me, Pat Cieslinski.
