Photos and Vital Information on every Tombstone in more than 770 Connecticut Cemeteries Now Online

The Godfrey Memorial Library continues to expand its searchable Scholar+ online database weekly. The database now contains listings from 770 cemeteries in Connecticut and includes:

• A photograph of every tombstone in each cemetery
• Vital information from each tombstone is transcribed
• Information from missing tombstones is added from the Hale Collection

Godfrey Scholar subscribers can search for people by name or browse all the names in a particular cemetery at http://www.godfrey.org/scholar/login.html. Once logged in, anyone who participates in the Godfrey Scholar program can search and then click on the name to view a photo of the persons' tombstone.  Information about the Godfrey Scholar program may be found at http://www.godfrey.org/subscribe.html.

Volunteers from the Godfrey Memorial Library continue to add cemeteries to this database weekly and hope to have completed 1/3 of the Connecticut Cemeteries by the end of the year. If you would like to assist this effort, look at the information available at http://www.godfreydata.org/Volunteer%20for%20the%20Ed%20Laput%20Cemetery%20Project.pdf.
