Here! Here! It is high time Allan was recognized for his contribution to keeping genealogy FREE. (Why didn't I think to do this?!)

Allan has given selfishly of his time for years, without remuneration, to bring the cemeteries to us. Countless genealogists have benefited from the fact that Allan walks the cemeteries and photographs the stones and then shares them FOR FREE online.

Having worked on cemetery transcription projects with my genealogical society, I know both how tedious and time consuming this work can be --- AND how important it is to preserve the monument inscriptions of those that went before us.

I have always appreciated seeing Allan's notices on the boards and lists I steward of what the latest group of photos were that he had prepared to share.

Thank you Allan, for honoring our ancestors. And to think.... you've honored nearly 200,000 of them!

Kindest Regards,
