World War I Honor Roll New Milford, Connecticut by Patti Crispo |
The Honor Roll Project collects transcriptions and photographs of military monuments with the names of military veterans from parks, schools, civic buildings, books and other places all over the USA and abroad. You can see the complete list of Honor Roll contributions to this project at this link: The Honor Roll Project https://honorrollproject.weebly.com/
Twice a year, for Memorial Day and for Veterans Day, genealogy bloggers photograph and transcribe these honor rolls, and publish them on the internet. The act of transcribing these names makes them available to be found by search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo and others. Family members searching online for genealogical or military information on relatives, ancestors or friends will be able to see the honor rolls, read the names, and learn about their family's military history.
From the thousands of names transcribed by Janice Webster Brown for her second year of blogging about World War I veterans in New Hampshire, and the thousands of names transcribed by Schalene Dagutis over many months this winter, to the tiny little memorial in Bristol, Rhode Island by Michael Davies, all are important honor rolls for their communities. And all are important finds for anyone searching for ancestors online.
It is a simple project, and it brings unexpected joy to searchers who did not know their ancestors were in the military, or did not know the specific military history, or sometimes they did not even know the town where their ancestors lived. Seeing their family member's name on an honor roll can be the beginning of finding more genealogy data, military records and historical information.
Here are this year's volunteer contributions. Please thank them for their hard work by leaving comments on their individual blog posts.
