Collaboration and Cousin Bait Do you use Find a Grave in your genealogy research? I do, all the time! Right along with Ancestry, Google, Wikitree and FamilySearch. It shares with the most useful sites the power of collaboration and "cousin bait," which is advertising your name and contact information on profiles of relatives you share with your cousins, some of whom are researchers looking for you.  If you use Find a Grave only to find out the name of the cemetery in which your relative or ancestor is buried, you are missing out on much of the power of the site. And I'm not just talking about the clues such as date and place of birth, death, names of parents, spouse(s) and children. Before moving on think about who the  someone is who added information to the memorial. If it is not you, you can add information! And you can click over to their profile to find out which cousin is your benefactor. To make corrections or additions to a memorial click Suggest Edits as below:
