Cemetery Photos in Ukraine
Does anyone know if there is a group of volunteers that would be willing to photograph the tombstones in the cemeteries in Ukraine? I checked billiongraves.com and there are a lot of cemeteries in the villages around Uzhhorod that have not been photographed. Specifically, Villages of interest include Perechyn, Zarichovo, Khudlevo, Orikhovytsya and Kam’yanytsya.

Hello @LongazoStevenJeffrey!
I don't know of any volunteers that would be able to photograph graves. You might try searching on a few Ukrainian and Russian cemetery database websites such as the ones posted below:
http://rip.gov.ua/?fbclid=IwAR14CVHCcn2uOQNAxVbBatgtO8NsWkhsxPCDsGnnfv44ySCT4vrR20dZo9c (This one is right now focused on Vinnitskaya Oblast, but it might perhaps grow in the future.
Jewish Specific:
You may also be able to find informaiton about Jewish cemeteries via Jewish Gen, Ukraine Research Division and Kehila links for certain villages.
Some of these websites might be in Ukrainian or Russian. If you don't speak either of those languages, no worries...when using the Google Chrome browser, right click anywhere on the page and choose the option "Translate to English." It will translate the page for you.
You may be able to find contacts in Ukraine who would be able to photograph some of those cemeteries through Ukrainian genealogy Facebook groups, but because of the current situation in Ukraine, I would suggest waiting until things improve there.

I tried those cemetery links. Thanks, but I could not locate anything on my family.
