FindAGrave.com is an amazing resource for genealogists. It is made even more useful when you can link the memorials for family members together. Join Crista Cowan for a look at how you can contribute to making this FREE resource even more valuable.
Findagrave.com, or Find A Grave is a database of over 121 million grave records. These records can include vital information such as birth and death dates, tombstone location, given and maiden names, and even a picture of the gravestone. Volunteers create memorial pages for each of the burial records. These memorial pages allow for biographical and tombstone information, in addition to a tombstone picture. If the memorial page you are looking at does not have a headstone picture, you can request for a volunteer in the area of the cemetery take one for you. Find A Grave records are constantly growing, and are currently indexed and searchable from findagrave.com, ancestry.com, and familysearch.org.
