Find A Grave is a commercial website that allows the public to access and add to an online database of cemetery records. ==History== The site was created in 1995 by Salt Lake City resident Jim Tipton, who sought a site to cater to his hobby of visiting the burial sites of celebrities. He later added an online forum. It was launched as a commercial entity in 1998, first as a DBA〔(Utah Secretary of State Entity No. 2442925-0151 ) Retrieved November 11, 2011〕 and then incorporated in 2000.〔(Utah Secretary of State Entity No. 4729413-0143 ) Retrieved November 11, 2011〕〔(Delaware Department of State: Division of Corporations Entity File No. 3168328 ) Retrieved November 11, 2011〕 The site later expanded to allow non-famous graves in order to have online visitors pay respect to their deceased relatives or friends. On September 30, 2013, Ancestry.com announced its acquisition of the company. Tipton said of the purchase that Ancestry.com had, "... been linking and driving traffic to the site for several years. Burial information is a wonderful source for people researching their family history ..." Ancestry.com planned to bolster the resources dedicated to Find a Grave to "... launch a new mobile app, improve customer support, introduce an enhanced edit system for submitting updates to memorials, foreign-language support, and other site improvements."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2013/09/30/ancestry-com-acquires-find-a-grave/?hootPostID=4138bfc02be3bbeec497222fbff15920 )〕 , the site contained over 132 million burial records〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Find a Grave )〕 and 75 million photos〔 worldwide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Find a Grave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
