Find-A-Grave efforts concentrate on a specific cemeteries that relate to family history research. I am working collaboratively with other family members.

HALEYVILLE UMC - Early burial records were lost in a parsonage fire. In an effort to reconstruct lost written records I began a comprehensive inventory of the Haleyville cemetery in 2017. Working with the cemetery caretaker and other FAG volunteers, we are in the process of adding Cemetery Plot locations, photographs, memorials, and augmenting information other volunteers captured.

As of November 2018, Sections Old, A and F (west side of church to Steep Run Road) are complete. Section C is in progress. Many thanks to Verizon Foundation for matching volunteer hours for the Haleyville project; the foundation has sent mini-grants to Mauricetown Historical Society and Cumberland County Historical Societies to further support their missions to advance the history of Cumberland County.

GREENWICH FRIENDS MEETING - UPPER MEETING HOUSE 720 Ye Greate St., Greenwich, NJ - Photographic inventory completed March 2022 confirmed all visible grave markers have been photographed. 2022 photographs complement previous photographs and show changes at the site. Earliest graves I could identify are from 1848, which is consistent with the 1857 completion of the brick Upper Meeting House construction. 13 stones were so badly weathered that I was unable to identify the grave and did not post a memorial. Find A Grave attributes 168 burials to this location (death dates range 1685-1841) that are likely correctly attributed to the Greenwich Meeting, but geographically mis-attributed as this site was not used until sometime after the 1827 schism when Orthodox and Hicksite Friends separated.

HENRY LUDLAM FAMILY CEMETERY - Photographic inventory completed September 2020 confirmed existing FAG documentation is complete and all visible grave markers have been photographed. 2020 photographs complement previous photographs and show changes at the site.

SEAVILLE FRIENDS MEETING AND BURIAL GROUND - Related to extensive research on the Baner Family in South Jersey, the graves, dates, and relationships have been validated by photographing gravemarkers and reviewing Meeting Minutes from the Society of Friends. I have been conducting a name study on the Baners of South Jersey. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me.

THOMAS LUDLAM FAMILY CEMETERY - Photographs in 2018 capture current burial grounds with contemporary marker. Would love to photograph the original grave markers that are now at the Dennisville Historical Society Museum at some point in the future.
