Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

Spotlighting: "Ohio Cemeteries" - Featuring FamilySearch.org

Many of us who also engage in genealogical research (which I firmly feel goes hand-in-hand with locating and visiting gravesites) are aware of the advantages of researching through the free website "FamilySearch.org."

There is so much to explore on "FamilySearch.org" and more new links are added almost daily.  

I would like to share here one page in particular:  "Ohio Cemeteries"  AND extend my personal appreciation to "FamilySearch" for including "Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in Ohio" blog on their list of Ohio cemetery resources!  

So, please take some time soon to enjoy checking out "Ohio Cemeteries"

Exploring "FamilySearch.org"

Hi everyone!  This post is about "FamilySearch.org"

If you have used "FamilySearch.org" much at all you know it is a fantastic and FREE online tool made available through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  

We owe the "LDS" much gratitude which extends also to the volunteers who have done a tremendous job of records indexing of their online collections, which grow almost daily.  
Clicking on the title of this post will link you to the "Ohio Cemeteries" resources page on "FamilySearch.org."  

I have also included it as a permanent link on the left side bar under the "Additional Cemetery Resources" category.  

Winter is here for most of us in Ohio and elsewhere in America.  It is a good time to do our home genealogical research so we can be better prepared to make those cemetery trips next Spring and Summer to discover and explore those almost forgotten gravesites of our ancestors!
