Posting to Find a Grave!

I did a good deed today! In November, I went on a family history trip to Pennsylvania. I visited one cemetery in particular that many people don't know existed. It is built on a coal slag hill that the coal company donated to the town. My sister and I took pictures of all of the headstones in this particular cemetery. Today I posted the first bunch of them on findagrave.com. If you have never been to this site, please check it out. It is so worth it! And...please take the time to post all of those headstone pictures that you have hanging around your house! Someone will be thrilled with your contribution! The above headstone belongs to my great-grandparents!

I have been reading this book over the Christmas break. It lists so many websites that I had no clue about! What a great resource!
