I have been a member of Find A Grave for many years now. Actually around fifteen or so.<\/p>\n
It is a very easy genealogy tool to use for finding some of your relatives. you can find birth and death dates. And other relatives that you can visit with about your tree and get helpful information about.<\/p>\n
Communication can be done right through Find A Grave messages, so you don’t have to worry about some stranger writing you.<\/p>\n
Here are some things you may not know about Find A Grave:<\/p>\n
It is Free<\/strong><\/p>\n It is totally free with the exception of a few ads. The ads are small and do not hinder anything at all. I actually love that they are not just all over the page. And I do not mind them being there at all. Plus that way it helps keep the website free for everyone’s use.<\/p>\n Ancestry.com Takes Over<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2013 Ancestry took findagrave over so they are now connected. Ancestry will pull up the entries so you can add them right to your tree in Ancestry if that is the place you work or search.<\/p>\n You can also save and share them. Searching in Find A Grave can be done by the cemetery, the city, the county or by state. You can also just use the name but you may get way to many hits to go through.<\/p>\n Changes to FindAGrave.com<\/strong><\/p>\n Adding siblings has changed and getting used to the new format is definitely different if you have been on it for a while, but if you are new it will not matter.<\/p>\n I find it different and it will take a little getting used to now that it has some changes. It is a very clean page set up and a wonderful tool.<\/p>\n Make an Account<\/strong><\/p>\n The first thing I would do is make a free account so you can add information, photos, obits or other information that you would want to share with others. It also allows you to help others out by taking photos in your cemetery to add for those that cannot drive to that area for a great number of reason.<\/p>\n The Page Setup is Very Nice<\/strong><\/p>\n
