FindAGrave.com








A couple of months ago, I joined http://www.findagrave.com/ as a volunteer photographer. People will post requests for you to search for grave markers in local cemeteries and then upload them to the virtual cemeteries online.

I found out about this site through Deb's family history work and thought it would be a fun way for me to "do my part"... the old history buff in me really enjoys searching out these markers.

Tonight, I found a lot of local history in the Clackamas Cemetery.., Jennings, Thiessen, Roots, Mather, and Deardorff are all names that should ring a bell for the locals!
The "Gribble" markers were found in the "Roots" family plot...
