Find a Grave
Find a Grave has been a great source of information including tracking down family connections. We were also excited to find biographies and photos of some of the members of our family tree.
Find A Grave is a resource
for finding the final resting place of family, friends, and 'famous'
individuals.
With millions of names and photos, it is an invaluable tool for the
genealogist and family history buff. Find A Grave memorials can
contain rich content including photos, biographies and dates.
Visitors can leave 'virtual flowers' on the memorials they visit,
completing the online cemetery experience.
Find A Grave's primary purpose is a graves registration website.
Find A Grave's secondary purpose is a memorialization/remembrance
site.
Find A Grave's tertiary purpose is a genealogical resource.
Memorial contributions to Find A Grave should at the least
fulfill the primary purpose, registration of the final resting
place. If a memorial contribution corresponds with only the primary
purpose, it has fulfilled its part of Find A Grave's mission and is
not required to correspond with the secondary and tertiary purposes.
Fulfilling the other two is welcomed, encouraged and deeply
appreciated, but as far as Find A Grave's mission goes, a memorial
page isn't lacking if it does not.
Find A Grave has grown to be a wonderful and valuable resource for
genealogy and genealogists, but that is adjunct to its main purpose.
