Progress on Dr. Fred Lathrop's Hunterdon Cemeteries Online
We have made significant progress with the collection of Dr. Lathrop's Hunterdon cemeteries. 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 Historical Society. Dr. Lathrop has completed the conversion of his textual content into a spreadsheet format which has been further reviewed and formatted for loading onto the MTAP web server. The data base will be loaded by the end of the year.
