Family @ Find A Grave

Over on the side, I've added links to family graves I've added at Findagrave.com. Findagrave offers people a chance to visit a "virtual" version of graves at which they can leave flowers or notes just like a real cemetery, only the notes don't blow away and the flowers don't dry up and get run over by the groundskeeper! I've been using Findagrave for just about two years. I started just adding the graves of family, but since I was at the cemeteries anyway and had my camera, I decided to take a few extra photos to help out those who may not be able to get out to the cemetery to visit their family. From there I ended up covering whole cemeteries for my home, Madison County, Alabama.

I tried to include the grave of the oldest ancestor I could find and, in most cases, that entry will link to all of their descendants who have entries on the site. So if you click on Thomas P. Presley, his page will include links to his wife's entry and the entries of his children. This can also lead you to other branches of the family...if you follow the link to his son James Richard, you can then link over to James' wife Lumey and then back up and down the Smith & Minton lines.
