Hi Cheri, I have a copy of the book and was pleasantly surprised last year to find my great grandmother had been 'put online' on the virtual cemetery. I was even able to contact the person handling that cemetery and requested a photo. They got back to me right away and the picture was added to her page within 2 days. Whoever undertook the project of putting all that into the website, I am very thankful for because I may never get to that cemetery at all to see it in person.
