FindAGrave

Wow!! I have had fun this evening.

I revisited FindAGrave.

It has been awhile since I had used this terrific site and I had forgotten how interesting that it actually is. It is a site developed by Jim Tipton and what a treat it is. If you haven't been there, go now (http://www.findagrave.com) and good luck. I am sure you will find it entertaining. Just imagine, there are over 9.2 million graves indexed here and it grows daily.

You can find the gravesites of famous people or you can search by state, local cemeteries or your family names. Many have images of the actual gravesites and tombstones. I found my son's great great grandmother's obituary. You can even leave flowers and notes. That was fun. It felt great to pick out a bouquet for her and leave it in her memory. I plan to upload a picture that I have of her and the gravesite. I don't know who submitted her name but it's possible that it might be someone that would not have her picture and would appreciate having her image.

There is an option to read about the top 50 contributors. It is interesting to read about what motivates them to do this work.

I signed up to be a contributor to help anyone who might be looking for cemetery information in my local area. I hope that I get to help someone.

Check it out.
