There is a possibility that I lived, for a time, in a renovated slave house as a kid. You see, my mom and her boyfriend were looking for a place to rent and somehow came across this tiny little house outside of a massive old house sat smack in the middle of many acres of farmland. This tiny house was literally just one big room with basically an added closet to house a toilet and a shower. It had a makeshift kitchen area that, thinking back on it, was probably added in the 1920s. The appliances were a bit newer, maybe 1960s (literally a stove, a sink, and a fridge, the fridge was probably 1980s). I wish I could remember where this was so I could go look it over on Google Earth and maybe do some research to find out more.

That's a wonderful thing that you are doing. Are you recording the cemeteries and any names of those buried there, that are known?

[@scootergirl3662]

This will be great when the database becomes public so that aspiring and professional data scientists and extract new information. Would make for great university projects. Does anybody know an ETA on this?
