In the past, we recommended a useful little online gadget that lets you search the Library of Congress’ American Memory database. Today’s gadget works quite similarly, but this one automatically searches the free interment.net Cemetery Records database.

According to the website, currently there are 3,897,472 cemetery records across 8,375 cemeteries available for search. So type in your last name and see what happens. Maybe you find ancestors you didn’t know about!
