Bio

I live in New Jersey and my hobby is to "Find A Grave" for people who are my ancestors.

If anyone knows the actual burial site of Abraham Coriell in Piscataway, NJ, please let me know:

I'd also be interested in a cemetery inventory of St. Paul's Church at Norwalk, Ohio. It's possible that two of my direct ancestors were buried there with no gravestones remaining.

My interest in cemeteries was sparked by a visit I made to Willow Grove Cemetery in New Brunswick, NJ. I was researching a surname and there was a gravestone there that I was interested in seeing. When I got there, I saw that the cemetery had been badly vandalized over a period of years. Her gravestone had been knocked from its base and dragged somewhat off the burial site. I then noticed that my 4x-great-grandparents were also buried there! Their grave marker had also been vandalized.

Since that time, I've been doing things here and there to try to make improvements at several cemeteries, including the Lane Family Cemetery at Bridgewater, NJ.

I'm not a major contributor to Find A Grave, but if you notice any corrections that are needed to something that I've added, please contact me.
