I was recently looking to clean up some ancestral information I had, and in doing so ran across http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi . I put in the basic information I was looking for, and it kept taking me deeper and deeper into my roots - FREE!
I just thought I’d share as it was a wealth of info for me that I was shocked to come across!
Hey, good to see you posting Vince. I’m kind of afraid to research my ancestry, not sure what I’ll find.

Your ancestors weren’t anglers. I checked.

You knew that without checking!
Be nice Ricky, I can’t fish but I shoot extremely well.

I assume your search started in the “famous grave search area” right Vinman?

good to see you posting vinman.
andy, is it possible to put 23 in timeout for a brief time, say a year or so? we could put it up for auction and raise some $ for the site.

I was cleaning up old info to send for that and just kept clicking. I was shocked at how far I got for free. Even found a pic of my great, great, grandparents from the late 1800s.
The site is dependent on contributors, but I was amazed at what I found.
And yes, I can’t wait to see what you neighbors unearth!

Peapod, are you saying people would pay to bring him back or keep him gone? This is a whole new idea for me. Vinman thanks for the link, I found some cool stuff as well

That’s cool, Andy. I found in an hour what my brother spent probably months on before the internet, and with more accuracy.
I think this internet thing is going to catch on

What I did find on that site was mostly accurate, some not. I think its submitted by individuals, whereas ancestry.com is vetted by many people, kind of like wikipedia. For example, that site claimed by mother and father were brother/sister. No, I am not inbred!
