I have found the Find-A-Grave website incredibly valuable and helpful in my personal genealogical search. I am inspired by those who volunteer their time to help others in their searches through photographing gravemarkers for people and posting memorials as a means to help other find their ancestors. In an age where people researching their family history are charged ridiculous fees for documentation of their own family member's existence, and are treated in general by state and city agencies/offices as an annoyance, it is a real relief to find a place like this - where everyone is here to help everyone else. Thanks to the creator(s) of Find-A-Grave!
