**SPAM**: Re: [or-roots] Oregon Gravestones Photo Project

[W David Samuelsen]

Iowa took 3 years and they are past 147,600 now. Average upload is in
neighborhod of 2,000 weekly as they gear up for the summer.

To illustrate the awesome task of getting as many as possible..

Salt Lake City Cemetery, the largest muncipal owned cemetery in the nation, has
360,000 burials with 40,000 vacants right now.

Small cemeteries are easy to sweep through in few days or less.
