Current and on-going project is updating Richland County, ND interments in cooperation with cemetery sextons. Every effort is being made to ensure this correct information from records available. Any information family is willing to share is appreciated. This began initially in 2012 by recording military veteran graves and continues as of this update 2024. Additionally I work directly with Veteran Services to obtain military recognition by way of obtaining Veteran Medallions for Grave that have personal marker or full Veteran markers for those that have been "unmarked graves" in some cases since the Revolutionary War. We have to work within their guideline, in some cases it takes up to a year or more. If we have to destroy an underwhelming marker (guidelines again) to obtain an appropriate replacement we will ask for the destroyed marker photo to be removed but will request with an explanation.

Find A Grave started as a part-time hobby and I enjoy spending time in the cemeteries anyway. I will make every effort to fill requests, as I am able. Please remember the winter months in North Dakota really do not allow for finding and taking photos of headstones or markers. They would be beautiful pictures but in general there is no access and the majority of markers just cannot be located. In the spring I will fill as many as possible (the cemeteries are soggy at this time of year). Drop me a note if you come across an error and I will be happy to correct as soon as possible.

Please do not be offended if I have added an additional picture similar to a previous one. It's not because I think my picture is better. It's nice to see the progression as we make repairs, cleaning and as the stones age.

All grave marker photos are pictures I took unless there is mention included that permission was granted by a 3rd party. I grant permission to use my photos for your personal use. Permission is also granted to historical societies, churches, schools or similar nonprofits to use the images for any purpose they wish to include "commercial use" in publications or other services they provide.
