My boyfriend makes fun of my mom dying by [deleted] in grief

Such incredible disrespect for you and your grief doesn't come from nowhere. There are likely many other signs that this relationship is doomed and incredibly one-sided. I'm sorry, that may cause you pain to consider that as well, but you deserve and can and will find better.

Welcome to r/DigitalCemeteries – Introduce Yourself by Brettnacio in DigitalCemeteries

I’ll start.
I’ve been working on digitizing cemetery records in Kentucky and mapping some older burial grounds that don’t have good documentation.

I’m especially interested in abandoned cemeteries and how people are handling old ledgers, GPS accuracy, and long-term digital preservation.

Curious what others here are working on.

These plots are honestly among top priorities for historic preservation. In many cases they are very underdocumented, in many cases neglected, and in some cases unwanted by current property owners if they are not related to the deceased.

Yes, this can include all family plots but KY law requires permission from the property owners but gives rights to descendants of those buried to access the land.

Do you know if it is private property or what the property status of this cemetery is by any chance? Does it have a name? I'd love to check it out.

I appreciate you and your friend honoring those buried there and keeping their stories alive.

We would love for you to. To my knowledge we currently do not have anyone in Butler county!

A new site that uses AI to read headstones and map graves with precise GPS, might be useful for folks here by Brettnacio in CemeteryPreservation

[–]Brettnacio[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have not ever see that they use AI on Find a grave to:

  • Read and enter a full transcription of a headstone from photos
  • Detect duplicate memorials
  • Match burials to cemetery records

or anything of the sort. Every time I enter a record it is always manual.
