Some online resources are available or are in the works for gravesite and cemetery research. Many of these have been produced independently for genealogical research. They can be found on the local Rootsweb site. Obituaries are one resource where you may be able to find information or clues about the final resting place of the deceased. Contact the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Department and inquire about their Death Notice/Obituary Index (1786-1913; 1963-2000).
