Each of the records with which Ewald, Etienne and Brian helped me mentions the burial of my ancestor, but not a cemetery per se. Are burials in France similar to those in other European countries, i.e. temporary? I was hoping to add my French ancestors to Find A Grave. When I searched for Schmitt (a very common name) I found only 47 in all of France. Relatively speaking, Laura PS: Are we related? Find out at http://where2look4ancestors.com/

Laura brings up an question I have had about European graves and www.findagrave.com I was told it is forbidden to put photographs of graves (mainly European) online, hence none of my ancestors can be found on www.findagrave.com. Is this true?
