Recently I asked a volunteer to take photos of my

As the Lancaster County, NEGenWeb Project Coordinator,

cemetery.

Hi all, my surgery for tomorrow has been postponed. My chest x-ray shows my
heart is enlarged and so I am scheduled to see Dr. Bajwa the cardiologist on
the 7th. I was afraid that this was going to happen since I have had alot of
fluid weight lately and have been short of breath. I will let you know what I
find out.
Thank you, Kathie Harrison - List Admin.

I have just had a new "volunteer" who posted the other day that she and her
husband will be taking many tombstone photos for anyone who wants them for
Nebraska Tombstone Project and NEGenWeb Project. She took 50 photos yesterday for

in Davey, she also did St. Mary's Cemetery and found more relatives. Then she
did Saltillo-Simmons Cemetery. Here is a
