Offer to photograph graves Netherlands
« on: Monday 22 May 06 21:08 BST (UK) »
Hi.

As I have received loads of help throughout the past few years, I would like to reciprocate the gesture.

If anybody has family members who died in action during WW-II and are burried in The Netherlands, I can try and make a picture of the grave. I can then send it (digitally) through the net.

Preferrably the north and west part of the country, but I'm sure I can work something out for other parts as well. My family is like a virus and they're spread out all over the place, so it shouldn't be a problem.  ;D

Just let me know if I can be of help.

Regards,

It keeps me off the streets ;)

I guess the genealogical community is a prime example of how people should deal with eachother ;)  Without the help from people here I could have never found out as much about my British heritage as I have.

"What goes around, comes around" can be actually pretty positive.

Glad te be able of help.

I am in the East of the Netherlands and would also love to help in any way.  I haven't been around here long but so far everyone has been so kind and helpful, I just want to give back!

Just checked where Jonkerbos is;  it's quite near where I live.  I can do it if Kya is not able to /hasn't been able to yet.
