Footnote.com really supported our efforts. They gave us four scanners to use for the project! Thanks, Beau!


Jim Kobus, Steve Danko, Mike Eliasz, and Tom Koselka joined me in scanning attendee collections. We can add your collection, too.

We Need More Card Collections
They are small so shake out you missal and I bet you will find - Bingo- a collection ;-) If you are scanning your funeral card collection for us to upload to Footnote.com, please observe the following:
Please use this file format:
