There is also an interesting section on Nassau County History. It is presented by John Chapman . We found our 'lost for 40 years' connection with our family in Germany in March 2000. Since then we have located and documented over 1,000 family members, had a family reunion, and built our website. Our information was researched and found accurate before posting it to the family tree or to the website.
Users submit requests for photos and volunteers respond to take the photos.
The entire site is based on the cooperative spirit of genealogists helping genealogists. The result are dramatic. To get a feel for how well this site 'works' take a look at the Success Story message board. To look for your headstone simply post your headstone request. There are currently more than 2000 requests in the database.
