| War Memorials and Honor Rolls at MacGregor Park in Derry, New Hampshire |
Every year I invite bloggers for contributions to the Military Honor
Roll Project. This is an effort by
bloggers to photograph and transcribe the names on their local and ancestral
military honor rolls. Participants have
contributed memorials from schools, towns, parks, cemeteries and
businesses. By transcribing the names
and listing them in the body of the blog posts, the names are available to be
found by family members and descendants using search engines. I've received lots of fun email and comments
from folks who were surprised to find their ancestors online, especially those
who didn't know their family members were veterans.
You can find a list of all the participants at the page tab
at the top of my blog, or at this link:
If you are a blogger, please consider photographing and
transcribing the military honor in your home town. It is a fun and easy project. If you don’t have a blog, take a photo and transcribe
the names and then ask your favorite genealogy blogger to include in this
project at their blog. You've done all the work, and
they can just post it for you. Please post your projects anytime this week or by November 11th, Veteran's Day.
After you post your project, please send me the URL in the
comments here, or to my email at vrojomit@gmail.com This
year Thomas MacEntee of the website www.geneabloggers.com
has agreed to include these posts at his Pinterest board for GeneaBloggers at
this link (let me know if you want to be invited to pin your honor roll
transciptions to this group board, too):
Have fun looking at all the Pinterest contributions and thanks,
so much for considering the Military Honor Roll project!
