Funeral Cards Online The operator of GenealogyToday.com more or less "stumbled" upon the value of funeral cards while sifting the planet's garage sales in search of quality genealogy information. The site now has 9,700 of them online which is more than you can find anywhere else. These are available form the funeral card index page on the site.
As GenealogyToday puts it, "funeral cards (also sometimes called mass, mourning or remembrance cards) are an excellent source of information for genealogists. While not a traditional "vital record", they often provide great clues like death and birth dates, name of the cemetery where the deceased was interred, name of the funeral home, and sometimes even a photo of the ancestor." But even more importantly than that, this is something which you would want to include in the pile of stuff you have put together regarding your family history. GenealogyToday's collections of this type as well as other records are continually growing so don't just visit the site once and forget about it because you didn't find something useful. Put it on your list of favorites and pay regular visits to see what new things they have uploaded. Look Up More Death Records: |
