Dr. Fred Lathrop's Hunterdon Cemeteries Online

The Mount Amwell Project has begun to put the collection of Dr. Lathrop's Hunterdon cemeteries on-line. The online data base will be accessible by the public when completed. The database will be searchable by name or cemetery. A complete description of each cemetery will be provided. Each cemetery description includes a picture, the location (address, latitude and longitude) and nearest village or cross road. A cemetery history and a listing of all the internees will be included in most cases. Dr. Lathrop has decided to donate the original notebooks to the Hunterdon County Library. Dr. Lathrop is converting his textual content into a spreadsheet format which is further reviewed formatted and checked before being loaded onto the MTAP web server. The chart shows the progress through March 2009. Currently there are 2 cemeteries entered on-line with 74 in spreadsheet format now being checked. We will post this chart on this site as we make progress.
