I feel like this site is just one big puzzle...every little piece counts. Even if it's just a middle initial, it is one more step to completing that one memorial puzzle. Feel free to submit edits or make suggestions on any that I have created.

I found this site when I created a memorial and it didn't take but a few months for someone to submit an edit with the correct info. I was very thankful. I realized there's a lot of other people that are searching so I decided to do my part.

The information I enter is usually gained from old newspaper obituaries and/or articles. Sometimes the family info is a combination of different family members obits.

~ DEAR ANCESTOR ~
Your tombstone stands among the rest,
neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
on polished, marble stone.

It reaches out to all who care;
it is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist;
you died, and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you,
in flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
so long ago
Spreads out among the ones you left,
who would have loved you so.

I wonder how you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.
