NAMES IN STONE is a unique online repository designed to help researchers find and document cemetery records AND maps. Maps that show each grave’s location allows the visitor to visualize families, and fill in the missing pieces to the family puzzle—much like our friend did on his visit to the two little cemeteries in Alabama. We encourage you to contribute to NAMES IN STONE by inviting your local cemetery to participate, by using the on-line mapping tools to add smaller cemeteries, and by sharing photos and other information with the online community.
