As a new contributor to findagrave.com, I am interested in learning about my ancestors—including who they were and how they lived—and sharing this information with other interested family and friends. My first searches of this database provided some unknown facts about a few distant relatives. Hopefully, the addition of memorials for other ancestors will result in new information about them. Also, some persons with no clear connection to my family have been entered—either to establish possible connections to my ancestors or to help other researchers learn about their ancestors.

Thanks to the developers and managers of this free—and hopefully sustainable—resource, our families and friends now have an individual place on the Internet to recall, document, and celebrate the positive qualities of each departed person.
