I have taken a lot of gravestone photos in some of the cemeteries that are close to where I live in the city of Troy, NY. I'm hoping it might help others out with locating their long lost family members. My favorite would definitely have to be the New Mount Ida Cemetery. We have done so much volunteer work back there over the last ten years. It has been amazing seeing this forgotten and overgrown cemetery be transformed into a place that is now walked in and visited by so many daily. Let me know if I can try to help you with anything related to it! We are also always looking for any donations for our continuing work back there. For more information:

**Please do not post photos of obituaries onto memorials I created. Send me an edit with this information.

**Per Find a Grave: "Please be considerate when sending edits for multiple memorials managed by the same member. A large number of edits sent at once to a single manager may be overwhelming." Use the edit tab to send me edits. I will try to get to them as soon as possible. Please also be respectful with the amount you are sending me in a given time. This means no more than 50 edits per week for each member!!

** Per Find a Grave: memorials are transferred for relatives with these close relationships: child, spouse/partner, sibling, parent, grandchild, great-grandchild, grandparent, great-grandparent, niece/nephew, great-niece/nephew, aunt/uncle, great-aunt/uncle, or first cousin. This would include adoptive, step and in-law versions of these relationships. Please contact me if you are requesting a memorial to be transferred to you, also please state your relationship, otherwise it will be ignored.

Another favorite cemetery would have to be the Coleman's Station Cemetery, a small family burying ground located on my Grandparents farm. As I kid I loved playing around in there, hiding around the gravestones, trying to find ghosts (I never did). But as I got older, I really came to appreciate the history of the people that were buried there. I realized how important it was to preserve these stones that were slowly falling apart. This was the first cemetery I photographed for Find a Grave and I know it definitely started this wonderful hobby of mine.
