This blog is to show my family the many genealogical adventures I have had in creating the family stories I have given them over the years.

I love Find A Grave
Many of my family have not yet learned about Find A Grave. This site honors the memory of our dead ancestors. It has the capacity to link parents and spouses and as a result you can follow a family across the country, cemetery after cemetery, to where your family lived. There are good people and organizations who have made a project of documenting the gravesites, adding pictures of the gravestones and putting a memorial on the website. When you find a grave, you can request that it be transfered to you for maintenance or if you know a person was buried in a particular cemetery, and he has not yet been entered there, you can set up the memorial yourself, add a bio or obit, put up a picture of the person, leave flowers and a note and create a virtual family cemetery.
