Find A Grave - Is it the MySpace of Rabid Genealogists? Perhaps. What is doubtless is that it attracts seekers of the dead, be that they are in search of ancestors or celebrities. Be careful, there are Civil War afficiados everywhere that leave virtual flags and flowers at the virtual headstone of every dead general and there are celebrity mongers creating virtual cemeteries of their favorite dead people from screen and stage. Well well, would you believe that Jim Morrison has more flowers than Elvis? Then again, probably half the population believes Elvis lives like so many fanfic characters. As for me, I am scared that Frank the Warhorse is better remembered than his rider, my great-great-granduncle of some sort who has no surviving picture but there is one for his horse.
