  • Jeffrey Dunn I made several improvements to the web site over the weekend. Our online members can now easily link photos, death records, marriage records and veteran records to the cemetery pages. If a person has a cemetery page and they also have other county records or photos you can link all these items together. Soon you will be able to link family members together and link census records to the cemetery pages. Here's an example of a cemetery page with a lot of linked records and photos: http://history.montgomeryco.com/Def...;tabid=981 If you have any questions just post a message here.
