I live in Virginia and have always had a fascination with cemeteries. Especially the old ones. Find A Grave has given me the opportunity to help others with their research and learn more about my local history through my searches. It's exciting when a grave is located, it's like finding a treasure. I take the time to clean off the grave and to me it feels like for a moment in time that person is being remembered. It's a good feeling.
