I was excited to find him listed on it. I've sent an e-mail to the webmaster with updated information on my grandfather and a copy of his obituary. He kindly e-mailed me to let me know he got my e-mail and will be working on what I've sent him. Now its exciting to know that not only have I found him listed there, but that I will be the one responsible for the bulk of the information provided on him. It's awesome work what he's done in creating this site and gathering all the information for the general public to have access to.

Sorry that your quest was not as fruitful as mine. Sometimes the fill in staff can pull up the record but doesn't notice if a stone is Present and does not fore warn you. I've have a relative that had no stone but the experienced staff member gave me an adjacent stone to key off of. Ask for a major land mark nearby. Most groupings of graves tend to look alike at Lakeview. They are only human, Try again at another time and go thru the Process again as if a NEW Quest. Perhaps they mis-marked the map. Ask for Adjacent graves or major Markers. In all my visits, There is a white hair Gentleman( 50-60s) that seems to always be there most of the time and the rest seems to be temporary Staff. Best of luck next time H Trump
