As an amusing aside, my family's cemetery is online: http://www.marioncountycemetery.com/brooks/index.php
The land was donated by my family and the family owns the historic farmhouse and surrounding five acres (called The Nook) that was the homestead when we came over to Oregon in the 1840's. I still find it weird that the cemetery is online. I'm related one way or another to everyone there named Jones. Its got some kind of cool things like census info and photos of tombstones though.
