Find A Grave Updates
Local cemeteries are being updated with much of the information we have here in THE FORT to make FAG a more useful tool with correct and complete facts. It also draws families to our society to inquire about further information and documentation for cemeteries in this area.

Requests by Email
Even though we are “closed” to the public, we monitor and respond to email for inquiry and research activity with our patrons. Some appointments are also made to offer direct access to FORT materials, if necessary.

Ongoing Support
Volunteers maintain social distance and wear masks when necessary, but most importantly we support each other socially and mentally as we continue to work on genealogical and historical activities from home or occasionally at THE FORT.
