Spotlighting "Find A Grave" Contributor, Robert "Rob" Weller

Click on title to link to Mr. Robert "Rob" Weller's "Find A Grave" Profile Page.

To date, Rob has posted 208,540 grave records (which I often call memorials) on "Find A Grave."

Be sure to check out Rob's interesting listing of "Virtual Cemeteries" as well while visiting his Profile Page.

Rob is to be commended for his dedication and also his courtesy for honoring requests for corrections submitted through the "SAC" -- "Suggest a correction or provide additional information" which, under "Find A Grave's" guidelines, is the proper practice for contacting a contributor for requesting changes on a posted memorial.

Keep up your great work on "Find A Grave" Rob!
