Find A Grave
This is a great site. I have been doing "grave" finding for a few months. Well actually this past summer I decided I was going to take pictures of graves and then post them to here. With the Find A Grave site I can post more relevant information, like obits, and other bits and pieces of information I find in the old news papers. Have fun and check this site out.
