The volunteers associated with the Shawano County Rootsweb Project have been working overtime for the past few years to index and photograph the cemeteries of Shawano County in Wisconson. The Shawano County, Wisconsin, Cemetery Project lists the cemeteries and burial areas within Shawano County. The work to index the cemeteries continues, but new material is being added frequently.
There is even a fabulous map of the cemeteries in Shawano County and list of Shawano County Funeral Homes from the past to the present, a boon to those like me researching family history there.
A call has gone out to others to help complete this project. If you have photographs of any of the headstones in Shawano County cemeteries, or you would like to help with the indexing of the cemeteries, or maybe you have some old records that might help locate people buried within some of the oldest cemeteries where headstones have been damaged, lost, or worn by time, your help is needed. See the Shawano County, Wisconsin, Cemetery Project page for more information on how you can help.
