Find A Grave

My husband is in find-a-grave.If you want to know where someone is buried, just put in there name and see what comes up. I have most of my husbands and my relatives listed in there. It is a awesome site, check it out

My daddy is on there and so is my grandfather

You can sign up to be a Find a Grave photo volunteer. Just put in your zip code and get E-mailed photo requests for cemeteries in your area. I've visited a dozen or more cemeteries in the past 2 years to take photos.

I've been a member for 6 yrs and 10 months, with over 5,400 memorials entered.

Way to go, Stew (a Find A Grave contributor from way back in the early days!!!)

Nice going Steve. I've also taken an interest in visiting the grave sites of old ball players, and hockey players in my area.

Looking through find-a-grave, why don't you leave your father a birthday hello?

I can tell you how to get a free headstone for him and get his name listed on www.suvcw.org

Good he needs his peace in death that he never had in life! Leave him alone!

And M.J. you really are missed.I truely loved ya. Man in the Mirror was my song.

Coming out just in time for the Halloween season are the strange, startling and utterly fascinating stories behind the world’s most notorious celebrity deaths in MORBID CURIOSITY: The Disturbing Demises of the Famous and Infamous (Perigee Trade Paperback; September 29, 2009; $13.95) by celebrity journalist Alan W. Petrucelli. From historical figures like Attila the Hun and Sir Walter Raleigh to contemporary names like Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith, the deaths of the rich and famous provoke endless speculation and tabloid fodder.

MORBID CURIOSITY will answer these burning questions:

Was Jayne Mansfield really decapitated? ... Read More
Which manly appendage of Napoleon’s was cut off during his autopsy? (And where did it go?)
What went to the grave (literally) with River Phoenix, Frank Sinatra and Princess Diana?
Why was Judy Garland kept in cold storage for more than a year after her death?
Whose suicide note was titled “Football Season Is Over”?

I always liked Michael Jackson. I hope he did not do the things he was accused of...but...God is the one he has to answer to. Let him rest in peace and remember the great music he gave us!

Sleep in heavenly peace Micheal.

I HAVE BEEN A MEMEBER OF FIND-A-GRAVE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND I LOVE THE SITE. I TOO,HAVE PUT SEVERAL PHOTOS UP ON THE SITE,ETC. IT IS A GREAT WAY TO LOCATE SOMEONE THAT HAS DIED. IF YOU CAN NOT FIND SOMEONE'S GRAVE AND YOU KNOW SOME INFORMATION,YOU CAN CREATE A MEMORIAL FOR THAT PERSON. IT IS A GREAT WAY TO CONECT WITH RELATIVES,ETC.

I met a cousin of my husbands this way. My husband and I are President and Secretary of our family reunion. I have posted information on each decreased relative as I get the bio. Now that is a great link for everyone to see exactly how we are related and read the obit anytime. Since there is no fee to belong, it is available to everyone. I enter what I know, keep updating as I find out more and offer to be transferred to a closer family member - if they decline, that's ok.

Well, due to this role, I have encountered one picture taking volunteer who apparently did not want to give up any of the Memorials he had established (not a relative). He made quite a fuss, but finally gave in.

However, the up side is now I can be sympathetic with others who wish to manage memorials I have established. ... Read More
Figure out what to ask, deem if appropriate to transfer.
So be kind to everyone. ~ Austin, TX

how do you use this? I am trying to find my ancestors graves and was hoping I could find something here.

Sally, go to findagrave.com and search the site for your ancestors. If someone has created a memorial page for them they will be there. Good luck.

wish I was closer to this - I would love to go to a meeting
most of my ancestors are in Ohio & Indiana!
