Just a quick note for a bit of promotion and to announce an area for possibly more information on Toledo Polish ancestry.
Not quite 200 photos for Calvary headstones are upon on the Ohio Gravestone Project website. Photos I’ve placed there also contain the verified location of each grave. There is a handful of contributors for Calvary and hopefully the collection will grow over time. Also it appears as if all cemeteries within Lucas County are in the database, so it may be worthwhile to peruse or upload photos for other cemeteries as well.
That said, you can visit the project here: http://ohiogravestones.org/. You will need a free login to browse or upload your own photos. No spam, safe site. It appears most of the major Lucas County cemeteries are listed there, so if you have relatives buried elsewhere in Lucas County, you may find or share information there as well. The Ohio Gravestone Project is run by the Ohio Gen Web Project.

Thanks. What would you suggest for those of us who are heavily invested in other means (OGPP, etc.) and do NOT use an iPhone (or compatible device)? I photograph graves using my digital cameras (Canon or a Samsung). I do this for the quality of the photo and get high-resolution photos, which means for me, more accurate transcriptions of the stone if it is weathered or broken? How could one get their existing data to GraveDATA.com?
