Grave Finding History:

My mother began sending family history information and photos to me throughout the late seventies until her passing in 2015. I saved all of it for the day I would have the time to add it to the family tree. By 1994, I began building my family tree in notebooks on Family Group Sheets that I filled out and kept in three ring binders to keep track of it all while adding that info to the Family Search Website. Upon my father's death in 1999, I inherited all of his family photos. I've added most of them to my tree on the Ancestry Website, Including headstone photos I had taken and continued to take while on trips through certain states.

In 2015, I created this profile. But, I didn't have time to work on it until 2017.

I started where my husband is buried and noticed there weren't very many memorials added for that cemetery. The next time I went to visit my husband's grave I decided to take photos of the family headstones. I eventually added memorials for all of the headstones I could find that didn't already have a memorial because I feel they all deserved to be honored.

In working on my own side of the family I discovered that the cemeteries at Fort Belknap had very few headstone photos or memorials. I live a thousand miles from that location, so I made plans to visit as many cemeteries on my reservation as I could during the summer when the weather was mostly good. I began my project in 2019 with the help of a cousin who was willing and able to use a Weed Wacker, as tall grasses hide many of the headstones. Throughout the summer we covered six of the largest Cemeteries within a 40-50 mile radius. I feel good about the work we did. We found some very interesting graves. And learned a lot of history as well. The work continues and I am still trying to locate many of the smaller family cemeteries that are scattered throughout that reservation. I would appreciate any help I can get. If you know where any of those cemeteries are, please contact me, either on FAG or my personal email address. [email protected].

Montana releases death certificates which can be found on Ancestry. In some cases you might never know where a person is buried if it wasn't for the burial information written on the death certificates. I do use them because they are proof of the burial location and usually list the names of the person's parents. Vitals' are also very important to know and the biggest reason I started searching the cemeteries in the first place. Of course it's personal information but I don't consider them to be an embarrassment to the individual who has passed on and any thoughtful person wouldn't judge the deceased and would know that no one is perfect.

I'm more than willing to transfer any memorial to a family member, no matter how far removed, unless the person is closer related to me.

I also welcome additional information and family connections as well as corrections. You may contact me by leaving me a message on my profile or use my e-mail address.

Thank you!

CRIME STOPPERS

A very Special young man:

17529796 - Michael Stanley "Mike" Carmen (1956 - 1976)

Carmen's murder was the very beginning of "Crime Stoppers." He deserves so much more attention but no one seems to know anything about him, his untimely death, and how his death started the biggest capture and protection service in the country, then spread to other countries. We'll never know how many lives were saved because of Crime Stoppers. The crime that took Carmen's life happened in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

*A POEM FOR SEA BURIALS*

In ocean waters no poppies blow,

No crosses stand in ordered row,

There young hearts sleep beneath the wave,

The spirited, the good, the brave,

But stars a constant vigil keep

For them who lie beneath the deep.

'Tis true you cannot kneel in prayer

On certain spot and think. "He's there."

But you can to the ocean go...

See whitecaps marching row on row;

Know one for him will always ride,

In and out with every tide.

And when your span of life is passed,

He'll meet you at the "Captain's Mast."

And they who mourn on distant shore

For sailors who'll come home no more,

Can dry their tears and pray for these

Who rest beneath the heaving seas...

For stars that shine and winds that blow

And whitecaps marching row on row.

And they can never lonely be

For when they lived... they chose the sea.

IN WATERS DEEP
