Cemeteries has been and still is an ongoing
project of Grand Traverse County of GTAGS. The Society is constantly updating
the cemetery information for Leelanau and Grand Traverse Counties as data is
found or submitted. Leelanau has been done and sold out although there is
more major being accumulated on an ongoing basis. GTAGS is in need of volunteers to assist in the projects listed
below. Volunteers may select a project that
may be completed in a week, month, single year or a project may require several years to
complete. If you have time, limited or a lot,
available, please consider helping on one of these committees. Some ways to assist
the Society for the cemetery projects listed below:
