Thank you for taking the time to add photos so others can find their ancestors. I always check cemeteries I drive by on my Find A Grave app to see if there are any requested photos. Its a simple act of giving back!<br /><br />I agree with you! My great aunt would climb cemetery fences (both over and under) to gather information on our ancestors! Just thinking about all the hours she spent at the courthouses and libraries amazes me. Now we can sit at home, sipping tea or coffee, in our pajamas researching if we want to!

I haven't been able to go out and take photos over the last year due to my husband's illness and now my own, but it is something that I enjoyed doing very much. I have been helped so much by the other members of Find A Grave and it is a joy to be able to help others, too. <br /><br />Thanks to their website, as well as Ancestry and FamilySearch, I have added many leaves and branches to my family tree. I only wish these things had been available to me 25 years ago so that I could have shared this joy with my grandma. <br /><br />Every time I find a new ancestor, it is like hearing the sleigh bells on Christmas Eve as a child. It is just wonderful. :)Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094315370756253027.post-85398643915952366372014-08-21T07:25:05.878-04:002014-08-21T07:25:05.878-04:00Carol, I love Find A Grave, too.

Love it. It's been a tremendous help to my own research and I love helping others find their ancestors' final resting place.cchidlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198985139824099153noreply@blogger.com
