GSSA Gravestone Transcription Index 2024, edition 22

               

This Edition 22 contains 953,566 names from 3200 cemeteries (6 added, 2 duplicates deleted), an increase of 341 names and 4 cemeteries over Edition 21

The data has now been renamed the Gravestone Transcription Index and this is available via the GSSA Webshop  either as a direct search engine paying by result or by a download of the whole database.

This is a downloadable item and will be supplied by WeTransfer. The download is almost 500 MB in size. On my computer with Windows 10 it took twelve hours to unzip itself.

If you still have Internet Explorer installed on your computer - as it is on mine - you can use the search facility. If not you will have to use the index which is in the format illustrated.
