Updating Cemeteries today. Links are found under each state for each town/city. In parenthesis are the same cemetery but a different link. Note that all states are not complete yet. Added a link to some Irish graves in Ireland.
Here is the link directly to our cemetery page: Cemetery page
Today updates of our United States databases including churches. The churches are just a list of the church itself per state. Will be adding more states and Canada churches. These links are not complete but they may help you in the name of a church for the town you are researching.
We had posted a link a ways back on meanings of occupations used in the earlier census. Here is a link called Big Book of Genealogy from Family Tree Forum
Here you will find not only meanings of occupations your ancestor had but also other definitions you might be confused on while just starting out on your journey.
Here is a book you can look through on Ancestry of a list of Louisiana Troops. This is not transcribed but you can actually look through the digitized version free.
As I sit here ready to post on our blog it is snowing. We weren't supposed to get snow here in New York. It's even supposed to be 50 today. Crazy weather.
Mount Zion Cemetery is located in Maspeth, Queens, New York. They have an online interment database on their site. I absolutely love when cemeteries do this. I wish more did.
On a trip to several cemeteries in our area, I decided to search and see if I could find some infamous graves. My very first one, which I don't think many know around here on Long Island, was Margaret Brown (nee: Tobin, 1867-1932 ). She is better known as Molly Brown or "Unsinkable Molly".
She was a first class passenger on the ill-fated Titanic. Margaret was married to James Joseph Brown ( also known as J.J.) Margaret lived till 1932 and was buried, along with her husband, in Holy Rood Cemetery in Westbury New York. It was a beautiful day when I went. The church bells were ringing making it even more beautiful. Here is the footage I took:
We have updated and added some more cemeteries which you can look through here. Not all cemeteries are listed as this is a work in progress. We will be adding world wide cemeteries real soon.
