Find A Grave is a terrific genealogy resource. I’m pleased to report that I have added almost 50 graves to its database, and more than 100 photos. To support this terrific endeavor, rather than adding pictures of tombstones to familyimmortal, I am now including links to the gravesites on findagrave.com.

I encourage you to add your own memorials to each page. You can also create your own “virtual cemetery” consisting of your beloved, so that you can check back on your loved ones often, add memorials on special dates, and read memorials left by others.
