Southwest USA Genealogy & History

New genealogy data base is available. Find or submit Arizona Obituaries. 

At the time of this article, about 800 obits have been posted. This site should grow very fast.

Tip for genealogy volunteers: When you do a volunteer lookup, take the time to post the obituary to this site. Someday… we won't have any obits to look up. They will all be available online. How cool would that be?

With a little bit of picking around on the internet I found another website for Arizona Cemeteries.  Yavapai County has some records available online and others only at the Sharlot Hall Museum.  

If you are looking for any ancestors buried in Arizona and you haven't found them yet… go on and click on this link.

You have to hand it to those volunteer types.  The Arizona Cemetery Project is all provided by donated time and materials.  

I have been participating in the Yuma Cemetery project off and on for years. It is a ton of work, documenting and taking a photograph (that can be read) for each grave stone. The cemetery is just sand and many of the stones are broken, missing or lost in a drift of sand. 

It is gratifying to get an email from someone who is across the country and has now located their ancestors grave.  …. And they have a photo as well.
