Bio

Albany, NY Metropolitan Area (Rotterdam/Schenectady). I am able to provide rough translations of Hebrew names.
-------
Current projects:
*Schenectady: St. Joseph's (Kings Road) to add GPS and plot section for all graves, plus initial photography for many graves, with a bonus of eliminating duplicates with Old St. Joseph's along the way. Many thanks to Suzanne S. for her patience with my edits! Upon request, will also retake photos impacted by grass clippings or goose excrement [there's a flock of at least 40 geese that is there every. single. time. I visit...]

-------
Recent and past projects:
*Saratoga Springs: GPS and newer memorials on nearly all graves at the Jewish Community Center Cemetery, building off Alice's fantastic photography and creation
*Herkimer: Updated photos and GPS on all graves at Holy Spirit Polish National Catholic Church cemetery, my grandparents' and great's resting place
*Oswego: GPS on the Congregation Adath Israel section of Riverside Cemetery
*Rotterdam: GPS and newer memorials at St. Adalbert's, building off Jeni's photography and creation
*Albany/Guilderland: GPS, adding thousands of new memorials, straightening out cemetery boundaries, and moving hundreds of memorials to the correct cemeteries of the Jewish cemeteries on Western and Fuller; helping the delightful Alan K. finish documenting Beth Emeth as well!
*Schenectady/Rotterdam: GPS on the Jewish cemeteries, also building off Jeni's photography and creation
-------
Have iPhone, will GPS! I enjoy attention to detail and strongly encourage transcribing inscriptions, however mundane they are, to help those using assistive technologies.
-------
Why I do this: I know what it's like to have relatives in a 100k -plot cemetery and have no idea where to start to find them. Even cemeteries of just 1,000 stones...your eyes start to numb after a while trying to find the one you're looking for. GPS, GPS, GPS!!! And living in the Northeast...Mother Nature takes a toll on gravestones. What is legible today may not be in ten years.
