I'm not really an ancestry research kind of guy. I got into Find-A-Grave following the untimely death of my sister at age 48. A coworker introduced me to the site, and at first it was an outlet, but has become a long-term means of remembering loved ones and friends who I've lost. Surely the older we get the more we tend to ponder mortality. It's been said that no one truly dies until they are no longer remembered. Only a few are remembered for centuries, but at least here we can express our own remembrance of those we've lost while we yet abide.
