Cemetery Records Online at Interment.net

A site is available online which as gathered cemetery records from all over the world to a single place. The site is called interment.net: http://www.interment.net/


You can find lookups for cemeteries from all over in several countries and detailed listings of burials at many of those cemeteries. There are also outside links to other death and burial indexes.
By clicking through to Draper Utah I found a complete listing of burials in the Draper City cemetery. They are sorted and contain tombstone information. The Draper City project was done as an Eagle Scout project several years ago.

Not all cemeteries are online but interment.net has got a good start. Check it out.

Help Evaluate new Family Search

FamilySearch is looking for people to help evaluate new functions to be added to the new FamilySearch web site. See: http://216.83.152.190/temple/static/signup.htm

Here is the letter inviting people to participate:

Dear LDS Church Members and Friends,

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is developing a new version of the FamilySearch.org website. This new website will help members identify ancestors, link them to families, and provide temple ordinances for them.

Can you volunteer an hour of time to help evaluate this new website? Do you know someone else who might be interested? We need feedback to make the final website as easy and enjoyable to use as possible. We are especially interested in feedback from individuals who are new to family history work.

Anyone over age 18 interested in participating in this evaluation should go to:

Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm. We greatly value your time and opinion.

Sincerely,

FamilySearch Evaluation Team

Family and Church History Department

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
