I think  "findagrave.com" is a great way to search for those who have gone before us.  All cemeteries are not listed, but it an easy search, and has a lot of volunteers who add cemeteries, names and dates of those buried there, and you can even add cemeteries, if you have info for someone buried in that cemetery.  You can also download your cemetery headstone photos and photos of the person buried there.  It has been a great help for me, and is preserving some histories of people also, as you dan do a short biography on that person also.

Just thought I would pass it on for anyone interested.

 Thanks for sharing the info link.  I haven't tried researching through a gravesite listing.  I plan on giving it a try.  There is so much research tools and sites out there online these days, it's mind boggling.  Cheers!
