The Minnesota Cemetery Research Project has been dedicated to my father, who passed when I was very young. Years after his death, I realized how quickly memories of him had faded away; I wanted to construct a community for anyone to come and share memories, and feelings of the people who meant so much to them during their life time. Together we can find family, friends, and possibly a lost relative at the Minnesota Cemetery Research Project.
