Another link to Tombstone Transcriptions and Tombstone Photos is FindaGrave.com
Jan Beattie encourages everyone who has any cemetery photos of any ancestors' graves anywhere (not
just Oklahoma) to upload their gravestone photos to sites like FindaGrave to create memorials for their
ancestors.You can also link your ancestor to their parents and siblings.

A FindaGrave memorial can also be done for your ancestors who are buried in unmarked graves, buried
at sea or whose burial locations are unknown. Even if someone else has already created a memorial for
your relative, you may add additional information or photographs that can be added to make a more
complete memorial. This is an excellent way to honor your ancestors and perhaps meet new kin or even
gain new knowledge about your family history.

Many times the tombstone photographs are uploaded by an individual or local
group transcribing cemeteries and may not actually have any connection to your relative. Most
are usually happy to allow you to take over "management" of the memorial. Oftentimes, they are
thrilled that you have additional information and are agreeable to adding it or even transferring
management responsibilities to you.
