Famous Person Tombstone: EDITED signup date

EDITED - I have extended the signup date to after the holidays - a lot of swappers are busy with seasonal swaps, so this will allow more to join in our little research project. Send date is still January 31st

You will send to your partner at least TWO PHOTOS of a Famous Person's burial site/headstone who is buried in your hometown or close to it.

Include any history of this person - why are they famous? - where were they born? - how did they die - did they receive medals during a war? - were they murdered or commit a murder? - are there any family still living in the area? - is their former family home a historical site? - was this person involved in politics? - is this person a ghost? was the town/city or a street named for this person?and any historical pamphlets written about this person.

You can do the research at your local Historical Society, Library, Museum or on the web. The list above are just some suggestions to get you started on your research. DO NOT write a book!! Maybe at least ONE PAGE and NO MORE THAN 5 PAGES of information and any printed matter you can find.

For those of us who live in areas that get snow (yuk) - get out now and take those photographs. The research can be done later.

Because most of us are busy with the holiday season - yes it is coming - I am setting the send by date in the new year - maybe do some research while you recover from all the holiday activities.

I would love to see some international swappers join in this swap - there are some really old cemeteries in Europe.

Because this is a time sensitive swap I am not allowing newbies - if you have a personal request - please PM me and I will consider each individual. I will not angel this swap.

PLEASE include a note with your full name, address and swap-bot name - makes it so much easier to rate and thank the sender.

Any questions?
