Default Find A Grave

Awhile ago I was lead to a site where it is possible to add and find information about our loved ones who have gone on.

Find A Grave - Millions of Cemetery Records

I have even planned a trip to go and take some photos in Provo the week of July 7th. This great fun... I will need to get a little my courage to write the bios though.

My mom volunteers for Find a Grave by taking pictures requested in her area. I've been meaning to do that too.

Yesterday after a lot of planning I went grave hopping and took 99 pictures for Find A Grave. Some were for me and some were requests from others. I really had a great time.

Strawberry,
Thanks so much for sharing the site! I found pictures of ancestors' headstones on just one line that I looked at. I wasn't even sure where some of them had died. I love to drag my kids in far off little cemeteries looking for headstones of ancestors who were supposedly buried there. This will help. Now if they moan and groan about it I can blame Strawberry Fields.

I am curious....

Are these pictures just of graves in the US or all over the world?

OH THANKS!!

I took my son with me to the last cemetary and had him sweep off the graves (dead grass) before I took the pictures. I went to four cemeteries that day and took Elphies broom with me lol. Don't tell her though she might want it back!
