CEMETERY WORK

General:  The family history work has taken on a new dimension since July of 2011.  It now involves actual research in the cemeteries where the family members and their relatives have been laid to rest.  This work, as it is developing, involves taking photographs of grave markers and mapping where they are located in each cemetery.  It then includes the initiation and management of a memorial web page at FindAGrave.com.  These web pages may then be viewed by other family members so that more accurate family history may be maintained by all.

Cemeteries:  The cemeteries listed below have had research conducted in them at least once concerning the Wingers of Oil City and their relatives.
