***Anytime we take a photo of a temporary marker, please advise us when the permanent marker is installed/photographed and we will delete the photo of the temporary marker.***

Retired in June 2021. I am now trying to give back / pay-it-forward to those who have taken photos and/or documented family graves at Cemeteries too far from our home for us to visit.

We live just a few miles from Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Orange, Orange Co., California. I am trying to add photos to existing memorials, provide additional information via research on ancestry.com / familysearch.com / newspapers.com. I also add memorials to FindAGrave as I find ones that have not been added yet.
We usually spend between 1 to 2 hours researching each person's information to validate by using public records, census, obituaries, newspaper websites, etc. We especially enjoy when we are able to link them to their ancestors and decedents.

The Holy Sepulcher Cemetery - On Line burial database is very handy for obtaining Plot information (and the other Orange Co Catholic cemeteries):

Regarding Last Names:
Accessed from FG today 09/09/2021:

Last Names
Last Name as you would find it on the tombstone. If the interred had more than one last name, they may be added to the last name field. Our Memorial Search will search all names in the last name field. If other possible spellings, place this information in the bio. Our Memorial Search can search for similar name spellings under more search options. Do not include honorary or other suffixes in the Last Name field.

Blessings!
Valerie
