about this free genealogy resource

This is a free genealogy resource that contains an index of the names and relationships that appear on grave monuments. This information is of especial interest to anyone reseaching their family history as information on tombstones is rarely listed and it is often hard to find a grave.


genealogical information

The genealogical information on this website consists of names, dates, age and relationships of people who were mostly born before 1901. The amount of family history information stored for each individual does vary depending on what is written on a monument and its legibility.

The genealogical information within the online database has been extracted from either photos taken by the Gravestone Photographic Resource or by volunteers who have donated them to the resource.

Other countries being indexed Other countries besides England are now being indexed. However this is a slow process as it does depend on volunteers photographing cemeteries and sending them to the resource. If you can, please help by taking photos of the monuments within your local cemetery and sending them to us. If every person who has requested a photograph from this website since it first started had sent ten photos, then the number of records on the database would be about three times its current size! One of these might have been of your family! Please help by becoming a volunteer.
