Please join me in the Honor Roll Project. Volunteers are taking photos of war memorials and honor rolls, posting them on their blogs and websites, and transcribing the names of all the people listed. These transcriptions make the names available for search engines, and the names will be available for people searching for family, ancestors and friends.
I started this project in 2010 with the photos of the Londonderry Civil War monument, and then followed with the other war monuments on the town common, Derry’s MacGregor Park and other local honor rolls. Other bloggers and photographers were invited to participate. The email and comments I have read are truly inspiring, and it makes it well worth the effort to transcribe names when you read how family members found their fathers and grandfathers online, or how families searching their family trees find ancestors who served in the Civil War or World War I.

If you would like to participate this year, I will be posting a compilation post of all the participating bloggers on Memorial Day, and I will also make those posts permanently available at the new website for the Honor Roll Project. http://honorrollproject.weebly.com/ Every May I publicize the project for Memorial Day, and again every November for Veteran’s / Armistice Day.
To participate, leave me a comment below or an email at vrojomit@gmail.com All you need to do is photograph a local honor roll or war monument, and transcribe the names. If you have a blog, post the story, photos and transcriptions and send me the permanent link for the Honor Roll Project. If you don’t have a blog, I can post the photo and names for you and add it to the Honor Roll Project, giving you full credit for the photography and transcription.
This is a simple way of saying “Thank You” to all the veterans in our communities.

ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm looking forward to seeing your post!
DeleteWhat a fantastic idea!!! I'd love to participate.
ReplyDeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteI want to let you know that your blog post is listed in today's Fab Finds post at http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2016/05/follow-friday-fab-finds-for-may-13-2016.html
Have a great weekend!
Great idea! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a privilege to participate the last couple of years. I traveled a fair bit since Veterans' Day and have 13 posts lined up prior to Memorial Day for your project this year, starting on May 17.
ReplyDeleteWow! Schalene, you are the Honor Roll Queen! Thanks so much for supporting this project in a BIG way!
DeleteIt's something genealogy related my husband doesn't roll his eyes at! He's a military history buff so he likes to look for them as well. When we travel he has limited me to detours of one hour only to photograph them...the rascal! ;)

A correction to my previous contribution: The Mecklenburg County, Virginia, memorial is in Clarksville, not Clarksburg.
