I believe that our present depends on our past. Many of our cemeteries are underfunded and older stones are slipping from our hands. Many organizations, such as Find A Grave, are doing a good job on locating and transcribing the history represented by both the gravestones and the family information provided by members, but there is still a lot to do.

Feel free to place photos from these memorials in your own family researches, with credit to "A Find A Grave Volunteer", and pay it forward by locating and helping with a cemetery near you!
