Yet Another Thank You Note

An Ontario volunteer, Wayne, has taken shots of many tiny, and hard-to-locate cemeteries. One of his many thank you notes ...........

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for working on the headstone project.  Saturday i found the graves of my g-g-g grandparents thanks to your pictures. Since then i have been able to find the rest of their family beyond just my g-g-grandmother.  I'm sure it is a daunting task, so thank you. And the funny thing is that you had just taken the pictures last Wednesday.  I am in the US, so it would not have been an option to visit.  Thanks!

Great work, Wayne!
