My mom requested that I do some family research for her in 1972 and I was "hooked" and have been at it ever since. When computers for home use became available, I jumped right in. Findagrave.com is a wonderful tool and I wish more would use it. I am so thankful for the many volunteers who canvas whole cemeteries and then enter the information here. As more and more cemeteries are neglected or overcome by development, soon sites such as this will be the only record we have of many burial sites. And so much history will be lost.
