Our camps in New York are spread out all over the
state. I'd like to ask each camp to seek out Confederate Veterans' graves in there county and
if possible in their surrounding counties, and record any known information from there
headstones, and have this information recorded. (Headstones are a great source of
information!)
This project will lead into other projects in the future :
 | Headstone Replacement - Getting new or replacement headstones for
Confederate Veterans. |
| Add Research for our Genealogy department, also useful for those
members looking for extra information regarding there Ancestors. |
Our information that we collect from this Grave Location Project
will be put into a master index, Database.
Hopefully, this project will spread to other SCV
camps throughout the country. So Please Members,
Search though your records, local cemetery records, cemeteries, Historical Societies,
family records - or any other source.
Travel to cemeteries, Record the necessary information for this project, and
send it to your camp Commanders or send it directly to
me.
Thank You for you time, effort & cooperation.
I remain your Obedient servant.
Steve Teeft, Commander
