Focus 1: Death related information

The goal of this focus area is to preserve the relevant genealogical data contained in the administrative records of cemeteries and burials - and make the information accessible to genealogical researchers.
On a more detail level the information above is enhanced with information on locating cemeteries and with photos of gravestones and walls of remembrance.  Funeral letters are being collected and an “In Memoriam” facility provides functionality to acknowledge people who do not have graves (for example, may have been cremated).
In general the various  projects proceed with their activities,  delivering their results for inclusion and safe storage in the relevant database, from where it can be viewed and/or purchased from the OnlineShop or the WebShop.
