We finished the Golden Gate National Cemetery Photography Project in early 2015 after 3 years of effort. Only recent burials in the cemetery, located in San Bruno, California, need to be photographed.

Since March 2015, I have been photographing the markers in the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, Colma, San Mateo County, California. We have photographed 65% of its 378,200 burials. Thousands of the burials are reinterments from the defunct Mount Calvary Cemetery and other cemeteries in San Francisco. I have finished Sections A, F, G, J, MLS, Children's Sections (C, CPC, and W), the Nun's Section and the Priest's Plot. For Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery the San Francisco Genealogy website is invaluable:

Please contact me if you have taken a better photograph of a headstone for a memorial (e.g., with better lighting), and I will be happy to remove my photo.

Golden Gate National Cemetery Credits:

FAG members Samme Templin, Theresa Miller, Christine S., and Cindy S. posted many photos.

FAG contributor Stewart Blandon completed Section 2E. Stewart also created an excel spreadsheet for the cemetery that was vital for the project.

FAG contributor Kathleen Clemence completed Section R.

FAG contributor Christine and Winmar finished photographing and posting photos from Section MA.

Notes on the Golden Gate National Cemetery:

Section E: Contains markers for 45 graves of German and Italian prisoner of war from World War II; there also about 100 graves of servicemen who died between 1865 and 1910.

I am currently interested in the Brocher, Lahey, Williamson, Weber, and Grumann families of eastern Wisconsin, particularly Manitowoc County.

I am also researching Nuzum, Groves, Wright, and Wheeler families of western Wisconsin and Vermont.

Finally, I am researching Welch, Belden, Dunbar and Downing families of southeastern Minnesota and Vermont.
