Site Survey

We will be using the Indiana Pioneer Cemeteries Restoration Project Grave Survey Sheet.  Each stone will be surveyed, I would like for each survey to be done as a team. One team member recording and one member checking the information.  The survey sheets will then be copied and given to the local libraries, genealogical society, history society and the trustee.  As the original records have long disappeared it is important that we have a valid survey and mapping of the Howards Cemetery; and that organizations have the information.  I know that the cemetery has been walked several times, and I will compare our results with those of past surveys.  My hope is that all information will recorded and any error of difference we find can be corrected.
