Here is an historical research project that uses Find A Grave, Ancestry, and other genealogical or publically available sources to provide an interesting hobby and a potentially shareable resource.
Beginning with my local area of Shawnee, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, USA and branching outward, I have chosen to start with Catholic Cemeteries and associated local Catholic Church history. My research includes verifying and cataloging with GPS a chosen cemetery and all the plots and deseased while also finding public information about the individuals buried there. The compilation of data is to be organized in a way that others may benefit from the research done. My goal is to become faster at the hobby and build organizational skills of an archivist in today's digital world of vast collections of data and information.
