I'll write more articles about this kind of research, but for now -- assuming this is a grave in the U.S. -- check the U.S. Census records from 1920 and 1930. They're public records and many public libraries can help you view them. I'd also look for his (or her) death record. Those kinds of records are usually called "Vital Records" and they're maintained at the state level, but may also be in county or city/town records, as well. I think that it's a great idea to clean up the grave and to leave flowers. It always seems so sad when a grave is neglected. Everyone wants to be remembered, and that includes the ghosts that visit (or remain in) our world. First, I wouldn’t pay that kind of money for genealogical information.

We've been trying to look up a person's history whom died Dec 16, 1935. So far, nobody who we've talked to knows anything. We've checked for two weeks now on the internet. The few pages that MIGHT have any information we have to pay for. $99. a month. we cannot afford that just for one person of interest. The museum who might have old newspaper archives is closed until May 1st. I guess it a seasonal business. Fiona, I know the rules and ediquets of the cemetery. No littering, stealing flowers, relics, ect. Anyway, would it be ok if we cleaned up a plot? Maybe weed around the stone and plot, maybe clean the marble stone itself? We would also like to leave some flowers for this person. Since we've been Ghost Hunting, our heart has gone out for this individual. My uncle and I. Thank you. Fiona.
