Find a Grave has Hawaiian cemeteries

[IslandRoutes]

Hi all,
I've been messing around with the website findagrave.com. I've found
that they now have a few Hawaiian cemeteries. Check it out!

Has anyone added their tombstone photographs to findagrave.com? I'm
thinking of doing it. I have several photographs for St. Sylvester's
on Kauai (it's not listed though) and a couple of other Kauai
cemeteries. I also have a few for St. Mary's in Oakland.

By the way, if you have anyone buried at Holy Sepulchre take a gander
at findagrave. The database is not complete, but I found a couple of
my relatives. Their were tombstone photos for some.

Hi,  My daughter puts gravestones and information on Find a Grave. It is a great place to put your information. She with her husband have walked and put all the cemeteries in our county on find a grave. She has requests to look in the surrounding counties for graves for people all the time. They are now trying to photograph all the real old cemteries before they are lost to time. If you have cemetery photos it is a very good place to put them. You can also put a picture of the person whose grave it is if you wish too., also a picture of the cemeteries name would be nice. I would like very much to see Hawaiian cemeteries on Find a Grave.                 --- On Sun, 9/21/08, IslandRoutes <island...@islandroutes.com> wrote:

Hi, Hawaii has many old family cemeteries. A distant cousin has
posted on Find a Grave from the Watson family cemetery on Oahu and
also from the Silva family cemetery in Kaneohe. I have always
appreciated that he did this. Also, the FHL in Salt Lake City has a
film, 982174, that has many of the Hawaiian Cemeteries listed with the
name of the cemetery, the name of the deceased person, their date of
birth if listed, and their date of death, if listed on the tombstone.
Occasionally, there will also be a place of birth and the parents'
names. I was able to find my great grandfather and great grandmother
buried in the Uluhaimalama Cemetery up by Papakolea.

Elaine,
I think it's great that your daughter does that. It's such a great
help. Many of us can't travel to see the actual tombstones/
gravesites. To go to a website and see your ancestors grave is pretty
amazing.

I hope to add some myself after I'm done dog and cat sitting. Got a
little too much going on right now.

Yvonne, you are right. There are many old cemeteries in Hawaii. Just
think if everyone who was working on Hawaiian researcher posted the
tombstone photos online. It would certainly be appreciated by all the
others doing their research.

At St. Sylvester's, some of the stones are crumbling. my Gr Gr
Grandmother's stone fell and cracked in half. It's the only photo I
have of it. I'm glad to have that! But, it shows how quickly history
can disappear.
