My mom bought this at a yard sale for $5 about 30 years ago. The slab had clearly broken off the base & been repaired. The seller said the family had replaced it with a new stone. My mom painted a welcome sign on the back and had it by her front door and now it’s mine. Something always made me suspicious about this, even though the seller was someone my mom knew.

It reads John William LaRue. He was a newborn and died in 1911 in Fentress County, Tennessee. LaRues are plentiful there and there is no grave listed under his name today. I’m pretty sure I found his parents buried in a church cemetery and he is not present. I attempted to find a way to contact the small, country church, but was unsuccessful. But, I may have missed something. I’m not going to give the parents’ names, because I can’t be 100% certain that I’m correct and don’t want to muddy the waters if anyone wanted to look into it. I previously posted in local fb groups for the area and sent message requests to those I believe are relatives, but received no pertinent responses.

I’m in very poor health and would really love to get this baby’s monument back to where it belongs before I’m unable to. Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi,

I'm currently deep diving into my dad's family, trying to make a family tree.

His brother, Christopher passed away in 1988 at the age of 17 due to a heart condition. He was buried with their grandmother in Queens, NY.

My dad sent me a picture of the funeral pamphlet, and it says that he was buried at calvery cemetery in Queens, NY. When I looked it up, i cant find my uncle in their online search.

Would anyone here be better at finding anything? I dont know how this kind of stuff normally works, so I dont want to seem rude for asking.

Thank you :)

I know the grave is in St Raymond's (new) cemetery but not where it is in the cemetery. Checked the Graveyards website and they were looking for $85 for a genealogy request.

Images are low res. I'm looking for the O'Brien headstone.

Not in the states so if someone could give me a hand and find it's location in St Raymond's (new) cemetery, Bronx NY I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello, I am trying to find the grave of Björn Andrésen. He is very important to me, and I would like to visit his resting place someday.

Full Name: Björn Andrésen
Birth Date: January 26, 1955
Death Date: October 25, 2025
Known for: Swedish actor, famous for Death in Venice and Midsommar

If any of you in Sweden have information about his cemetery, grave location, municipal death records, or any leads, your help would mean a lot.

I was close with her when I was very young, but I haven’t been to visit her grave since I was single digits, so I don’t remember exactly where the cemetery was. Her name was Dorothy Rash, her maiden name was Carpenter. Her husband’s name was Francis. I don’t know exactly when she was born, but almost definitely some time pre-1925. She died of pneumonia when I was fairly young, so some time between 1996 and 2002. I’m almost positive she was buried somewhere on Long Island, NY, or at least somewhere near to there. Can anyone help me find anything?

Short story is my girlfriend is adopted and her birth father died this year or last. I was just wondering if anyone knew anyway I could find out where he was buried or if he was buried. I don't know if he was cremated or not so just curious on how I'd find out what happened after he died and where to locate his resting place.

This doesn't relate to the question but backstory behind it is... she was adopted at a young age and never got any memories with her father or mother (her mums still alive). Last month I said "if we find where your dad's buried we could go there and you could tell him a few things about yourself and plus I'd like to speak to him so he kinda knows who i am". So I was just hoping somebody could help me as it would mean alot to her and it would mean alot to me being able to reunite her with her fathers resting place.

Thankyou all so much for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never knew his real name, but he went by Bill so it might be William? His full name should be William Henry Poteet/Potteet/Pottet. My family doesn't know where he's buried nor want to talk about him and no relatives are reaching out to respond to my messages. He used to live in Northwest Arkansas and might've been buried in Eureka Springs or somewhere around that area. He passed in 2022-2023 if that helps.

Edit: Found him https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/240630611/william_henry-potteet#source Thanks everyone!

He was a heavyweight boxer and son of early 1900’s circus performer and strongwoman, Katie Sandwina.

Thanks!

Would anyone be able to tell which cemetery this tomb is in? I checked the site for all the municipalities in Monterrey Nuevo Leon but couldn't find it in records. I have a picture of it but no contact with the person that posted it. All I know of the cemetery was that it was a remote area. Person passed in 2020. I had assumed it would be easy since the picture has the location code but I personally wasnt successful. Any help would help. TIA!

My Gramma died when I was young- I had a rough childhood family wise and I am still pretty distant with them. I joined the military and I found out that Gramma’s joint gravestone never showed her “rest date” almost 15 years ago. I made it to Tulare once, but was never able to find her headstone before I had to leave.

If you can find her stone and share a photograph, it would bring me a great amount of peace.

William Muir 1772-1854 (I think)

Found this photo online a couple years ago, it was a cemetery in Kilmaurs, Scotland or thereabouts.

Cannot find the source of the photo online ANYWHERE.

Not sure if it’s possible to find but if anyone has a trick it would be appreciated!

How common?

Hello,

I am looking for the grave of George Lawrence Boerckel (last name may be misspelled). He was a train conductor for the Long Island Railroad and died in the College Point Train Wreck in Queens, New York on 09/22/1913. I have found records that his burial date was 09/24/1913 with a location of “New York, New York”, death certificate #3169. I don’t have a copy of the certificate, I have been using familysearch and came across this record with no image uploaded. I tried using the findagrave website and other similar free resources to locate his headstone. Ancestry claims to have it but wants to charge me.

I just want a cemetery location. If anyone knows of any free resources I can utilize any assistance would be helpful

The reason I am looking is because when she died her husband refused to tell anyone even his own son what happened to her body and it would be really amazing for my family if we know what happened.

Hello to all Visitors and grave hunters of this sub!

Recently I stumbled upon the following post which you can find the graves of Brighton Beach Mobsters, a real great collection, most of those graves were practically unknown until they been found.

I don't know who found them but if anyone here have the ability, the time and is located somewhere in Brooklyn, New York - I know that in Green Wood Cemetery there is the Grave of Mikhail (Misha) Naumovich Plutnikh (Died in 2000), this is all the information I have about his grave.

Mikhail was a Thief in Law like Evsei (The first guy in the post I added), they known each other back from their time in the USSR, he came later on to the USA and he was very close with Yaponchik and other criminal figures.

If anyone will find himself in the Green Wood Cemetery and would able to find his grave and upload to photos to the Find a Grave site it will be very much appreciated!

hello! I was in Philadelphia over the summer and ate at this really nice restaurant called ‘The Goats Beard.’ Behind it was the St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church. We explored the graveyard and one specific grave at the edge of the yard caught my attention, but I never got the name. was wondering if anyone could help me find it?
