Most everyone is very helpful and friendly. I have had only unpleasant experience. A person there had created a memorial page for several of my family members in Texas. There is no information added except the dates of birth and death. I have asked her repeatedly to transfer them to me and she ignores my requests. I can't understand why since they don't seem to be family to her. They are apart of my great-grandmother's family, her siblings.

Lori, as far as I am concerned I will continue to add and create memorial pages for everyone that I can.

Hi - For those researching Warwickshire information, the BMSGH sells loads of fiche of the county's Monumental Inscriptions - I have surname indexes of most of them on my 'Pink Pages for Warwickshire" PPP - MI Index

I joined FindAGrave about 2 years ago. I love it! I have found family that I was missing information on, I've added family headstones online, and I have met the nicest people. It's a wonderful site, especially for people who just can't make it to the cemeteries/graves.

Hi all,
I joined findagrave 8 years ago and enjoy the site very much. It is a good way to honor our families that have gone on before us. I work on the site every day adding family and friends and those I feel need to be remembered.
My Virtual Cemeteries are mostly family but some are friends I went to school with and others. It is a great site to also find family like I did in New York and Connecticut. I appreciate those that make the site possible for us.

FindAGrave is a fantastic site and all FREE. I have met many good friends there and have put in a few requests as well as added a few pics and info of my own.. I return there every few days and keep checking on up dates.

I just recently discovered Find-A-Grave and it's wonderful! I have found my 3xs great grandparents burial place and being able to see their headstones was amazing! I cried! But the ironic thing is, I haven't been able to locate a picture of these certain ancestors and my aunt had pulled out some pictures and my mom had called to tell me that my aunt has pictures of these ancestors! And this happened the day after I located them on Find-A-Grave!

I love findagrave.com, and taking volunteer photos. We call it "cemetery hopping" as we go from one to another. Usually, I'll take one day out of the week, and pick out 5-10 cemeteries to go to, and start at the farthest one from the house and work my way back home. I will usually go alone, as no one else in the family thinks it's fun. Their loss!

I totally love this website!!! Not only I have found or entered many of my relatives in but taking photos of graves for others. It is great when I can complete a request. If anyone needs a photo of a loved one's grave here in Orlando, let me know.

I call taking pictures "graverobbing"
