Information for cemetery and building photos


Would you like to add color to your family history? We, as genealogists, tend to gather plenty of names and dates, but what would be interesting to descendents someday might be pictures.

Photos of tombstones serve purposes such as confirmation of relationships (who is buried with who?). Where the family plot was located. What the tombstone looks like can also help when searching the grounds on foot when you are able to actually go there someday.

Ever hear stories of grandma's house but could never picture it because the family has long since moved from the area? Or maybe you had gone there as a child and want your children and grandchildren to see what the old family house or business looked like. Or just want to see if the building is still standing.


I can help you with these photos. I know what it is to be so many miles from where your ancestors lived, mine were from PA and I have never been east of the Ohio state line.
I am not a professional photographer, I am just conveniently located in Northwest Indiana-where your needs just might be.

Ok to the nitty-gritty...the cost. I consider my costs to be very cheap considering the cost of film and developing alone.
