A New Enterprise

As a newly-anointed graveyard rabbit for Contra Costa county, California, I am happy to start this blog.

My goals for this blog are as follows:

* Weekly posts of photos, information, articles and links applicable to the burial sites of Contra Costa county. This will include links for existing online information, and bibliographies for offline materials.

* Monthly features on a graveyard location in Contra Costa county. I hope to visit and document interesting sites through photos and essays.

* Quarterly posting of transcription work for heretofore undocumented sites not transcribed elsewhere.

Posts will be organized by tagging according to burial site name, so that researchers can easily find information on applicable sites.

I am excited and honored to be a part of the Graveyard Rabbits Association, and hope to learn ALOT about the burial sites of Contra Costa County California!
