Searching for an ancestors grave?

Trying to find a loved-ones grave?  www.findagrave.com is a wonderful source for finding grave information, and with the information for 63 million graves in their data bases you have a good chance of finding a 'lost' relative.


Once when looking up one relative, I not only found out what cemetery in which she was buried, but I saw an individual portrait of her, a family portrait with her husband and four of their children, a picture of her headstone, and the birth and death dates of most of her children. 


There are some records that are unavailable as yet, but new graves are added all the time.  There is even a link to add the burial records for the use of others.
