The Warren County Genealogical Society (WCGS) has always had an interest in cemeteries. Chester & Betty Dunn, Evelyn Freest, Helen Hull and others spent countless hours in the early 1980's visiting most of the cemeteries in our county and transcribing the tombstones. Much of the tombstone information we had prior to our virtual cemetery project came from their sacrifice and hard work. The results of their efforts were published in the 1980's by the Warren County Genealogical Society in 11 volumes of cemetery books recording nearly 48,000 Warren County burials.

In 2004, Russ Kan of Arizona contacted WCGS asking if someone would photograph the tombstones of his ancestors buried in the Dicks Creek cemetery. When this cemetery was visited, more than 75% of the tombstones were damaged or broken. Since the Dicks Creek cemetery is a small cemetery and has one of the highest concentrations of Revolutionary War veterans in the county, it was decided to photograph al! of the tombstones instead of just the ones for Mr. Karr. This was the start of the WCGS virtual cemetery project. Ame Trelvik and Dana Palmer agreed to be co-chairs for our cemetery committee and this project The Warren County government provided WCGS with space on their server for their website with many indexes including some of our cemetery indexes. Knowing how popular and useful the USGenWeb pages are to researchers it was decided to seek that avenue to load our cemetery photographs. Arne Trelvik agreed to serve as the County Coordinator for the Warren County, OHGenWeb site. The Virtual Cemetery project was added to this site at Warren.OHGenWeb.org and as of 2025 has almost 100,000 burials listed.
