As an amusing aside, my family's cemetery is online:

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.

Here's my great-grandmother:
