Someone sent the address for getting into the Library of Congress. I apparently deleted it and would like to have it. Thanks Nancy

Also on the findagrave.com search box. You only have to put the first letter in for it to work so if you don't know how to spell the whole name just put in say "mck" for the surname and all names with that will come up like Mckenzie, Mckensey,Mckinzie, Mckeon. Joe in Florida

strange that some of you are not getting any results. I searched using only the surname, and got results. Possibly the records are not completed yet. Ruth

What happened in my family with Harmon C. M. Perrin was a bureaucratic mistake: the army signed him up as Perron and that is how he shows up in the Alexandria National Cemetery database. It is all rather surprising, since his brother, Thomas L. Perrin, was spelled correctly.

Sharon: There are omissions in the VA database. You can inform the cemetery or VA of your gr-gr-uncle's burial and they will add him to the database. Try searching with just the surname, or with the surname and dob or dod to see if they have him listed slightly differently.

My brother is a Viet Nam Vet. His son died when my brother and his wife were stationed in Germany and the son is buried at Arlington. I was able to find his grave site using the locator.

My Gr-Gr-Uncle was killed during the Civil War and I have a picture of his tombstone, clearly showing his name. He is buried in Hampton National Cemetery (VA). This cemetery is listed on the drop-down menu but the prompt tells me "NO results shown for your search". I even tried it without the cemetery name and played with variants of his surname but got no results.

I got this also. Feeling frustrated I put in John Smith and even that name said no results found.

Correct. My parents are both buried at Arlington and they both appear in the list.

WEll, not really. If a spouse or child of a veteran was buried in a national cemetery (such as Arlington) they too should be listed. I don't have any names that would qualify for this, so cannot check it out. But I would ASSUME that anyone buried in a national cemetery would be in the index. Anyone know for sure?

Priscilla, how wonderful!!! I hope many more are able to locate their family members. I love it when a shared website provides info for others. (I had located an obit for a great uncle Alexander Allerdice that had been buried in Arlington National Cem. And I just found his burial location. whooppee - now to locate a volunteer to possibly provide a photo of the grave. cross your fingers) Ruth

if you have an ancestor buried in a National Cemetery but don't know the location of the grave, this link will enable you to search the name and will give you the location of the grave in the cemetery. Ruth http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1

While at www.google.com searching for the Sprowls families, I had a result for a patent that had been filed in 1907 for a wrench by Frederick A. Sprowls. This was the original drawing and patent application. I did some generic searching for other family names, and it turned out to be quite an interesting play time. lol I thought I would share the url, just in case you would like to check out the search engine. Have fun and hope you find someone interesting. www.google.com/patents Ruth Sprowls

Thank you Ruth. That helped me find the location of my grandfather's grave.

Sam, I guess you received the story okay. I guess the error message I received was that the List would not accept the attachment. Your story is really interesting - strange things do happen.
