There can be great value in locating our relatives, or relatives of our relatives, in the various cemetery sites available to us. One of the most popular sites is Find a Grave. Here is a little info to get you started.
“Find a Grave's mission is to help people from all over
the world work together to find, record and present final disposition
information as a virtual cemetery experience.” (Find a Grave)
Powered by volunteers, Find a Grave was Initially created in
1995 by Jim Tipton who liked to locate graves of famous people. It has grown to
include people from all walks of life and is an amazing source of information
about some of them. Find a Grave became a subsidiary of Ancestry® in 2013. A
quick look at the collections available through Ancestry® yields a total of nearly
220 million memorials! This site is free, easy to use, offers iOS and Android
apps, memorial search, cemetery search, and other options. It is absolutely
worth becoming familiar with Find a Grave. You never know what you might find
to assist you in furthering the information about your family.
