Volunteers Needed for Transcription Project: In 1895 a man named Dolliver traveled around Gloucester, MA and wrote in cursive the words carved on the tombstones. The Gloucester Cemeteries Committee is working on a transcription project that will digitize Dolliver’s work, but we need volunteers to help decipher these handwritten historical documents, which will eventually be accessible on line. If you are curious, like unlocking local history and enjoy a challenge, help us! Visit https://sites.google.com/view/volunteer-local-history/home for more information.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Very interesting Great looks! – I remember many of the old gravestones have the effect of time with moss and weather elements, or lost records no longer readable. Great project the old Lanes Cove or Cove Hill cemetery they did a lot of work in this type area. Last I checked around 80%. Dating back into early 1700’s. In this Northern Cape Ann community the streets are named after many of the families and family burials (Lanes, Sargent, Youngs, many more, etc…Generational history indeed!
