Bio and Links
Bio Photo I created the Find A Grave website because I could not find an existing site that catered to my hobby of visiting the graves of famous people. Much to my surprise, I found that there were many thousands of folks from around the world that shared my interests. Seeing Find A Grave grow and grow beyond my wildest expectations has been one of the great joys of my life.

I was born in Alma, Michigan but spent most of my youth in Denver, Colorado. I attended Grinnell College in Iowa and earned a BA in music. I currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah. I enjoy playing and writing music, reading, table tennis, foosball and disc-golf (the macho sports).

Complaints
For all those out there complaining about duplicate photo taking from others, this is suppose to be a rewarding and fun thing for everyone to volunteer and to remind those this is FREE website for volunteers to contribute. If someone claims a photo request, so be it. If they are unable to take the photo, maybe an emergency came up. That does not mean someone else cannot go out and take a photo of the same grave or gives anyone the right to complain about someone else. I tend to take different angles for a different feeling of the grave even if someone has claimed that photo. Please. Life is too short and love is in short demand in the world today. Love thy neighbor and lets all work together for the better of mankind. Thank you and Semper Fi. Diane

Problem with a Contributor
I have a problem with a contributor (Roger Atkins 46562712)
He has been submitting photo requests & not fulfilling them.
He has been giving wrong information about the photo requests.
He has been taking photo requests & not submitting them or some other contributors has claimed the photo requests & he has take the grave site photo before the claim has been fulfilled.
Example I received a photo request yesterday & claimed the photo request. Then today after taking the photo I notice a grave site photo was already taken by Roger(46562712).
Please help me with this situation.

Sarah hoch
Mt Olivet Cemetery, Salt lake City, Utah
Sarah Hoch

Should read father is Samuel Tarr, not Farr. Sarah was born to Mary and Samuel Tarr in Ohio. Census is correct, she was born in Ohio, death records say born in Iowa (in error). She lived in Iowa, but was not born there. Her mother, Mary died about 1834 and her father, Samuel, remarried Sarah Varney, 1841 in Cedar, Iowa. Sarah married Edward Hoch in 1847, also Cedar, Iowa. If the census is correct, Sara was 14 when she married Edward Hoch.

Could you correct the error on the father's last name. The Early Iowa Marriages 1850 and before, Cedar Marriages lists her as TARR.

need help with find a grave
Hello, I have two problems.

First one is, I found out I have two diffferent accounts, my email changed.
I want to combine them and cant, The aol.com I have been a member for 12 years +, and the yahoo.com I am on now, and have been on for 1 year +.
Can you combine them together for me please, should be 13 years +, under the yahoo.com
And the other thing is, my G Grandpa Robert J. Price Memorial page, there are 2.
one I posted a long time ago, and the other one my cousin posted not too long ago, we need to combine them, most of both of them is good exept where his wife is buried, she is not buried in Grady OK. with her husband, she is buried in Pottawatomie County OK. in the Old Ray Cemetery like I posted, my cousin Candice did not know that.
Here are the 2 Memorials for Robert J. Price 5141302, and Robert J. Price 28829308, both info can be saved on one memorial page.
I hope you can straiten this all out.
Thank you, Rex


















My first profile Rex Huha #35082847 12 years +, I had forgot my passward for that one and no longer had aol.com, I have been on yahoo.com now for the last year or more.

So I could not change it, or combine them.
I have it all messed up, I hope you can striaten this all out for me.

Mr. Tipton;
User E L Mem # 46539242 Has 4 People listed in the wrong cemetery and I cannot contact her to correct this error because she has messages disabled.
The listings should be in Blair Cemetery instead of Mullins, these cemeteries are back to back but differently named.
the listings are:
1.Addison Gabriel Stokes Memorial # 39565687
2.Clarence Tipton Memorial # 39565482
3.Sunshine Tipton Memorial # 39565704
4. Vicki L. Tipton Memorial # 39565630
Can you correct this on your side?
Thank you

#1055 Vincent Van Gogh
http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/10/17/new-book-claims-vincent-van-gogh-didnt-commit-suicide/

New research on how he died. My husband and I were just in Auvers-sur-Oise and the town's people and cemetery caretaker said that suicide was just a rumor. The information in this article are true.

Thanks! Jayne

Thank You!
Thank you for a great site to honor ancestors. I would love to see where siblings can be added to a memorial instead of being hyperlinked. Thanks for all you do.
