How a Technical Illustrator Became the Bone Finder

HUDSON, N.H. - Rezul -- Bob Perry is the foremost expert on discovering unmarked graves and mapping cemeteries. The Vietnam Veteran became was asked to re-draft and computerize hand-drawn maps from the early 20^th century, for a local cemetery and he was thrust into the niche market of providing cemetery mapping services.

He established himself as the nation's preeminent Cemetery Geophysical Specialist and wrote the first reference book on the subject, showing cemetery caretakers how to move their maps into the digital age.

With thousands of cemeteries and burial grounds in the United States and Canada and hundreds of thousands of unmarked and unknown graves, The Illustrated Reference Guide to Cemetery Mapping Techniques & Applications shows interested laypersons how to map gravesites.

Perry also offers a program that trains others how to do what he does and has been consulted to work with law enforcement and film productions, including when the History Channel filmed In Search of: The Lost Colony of Roanoke and Disney's Hocus Pocus.
