Hi and apologies if I’ve posted in the wrong thread. My maiden name was Kellner and I am eager to know how I go about tracing my ancestors graves at a cemetery.

Hello and welcome

Whereabouts do you expect the relevant graves/cemeteries to be?  If in the UK, are you familiar with the site www.deceasedonline.com?

And a warm welcome to Rootschat from me.

There are various websites which have transcripts of burial registers - some are free like FamilySearch and FreeReg.  Others have user-submitted entries for individual graves such as Findagrave.

Depending on when and where your ancestors died they could have been either buried or cremated.  Also, depending on their level of affluence they may have been buried but no permanent marker erected (as is the case with the majority of my ancestors).

It might be a good idea to post the name, age, date and location of the death of one or two of your ancestors on this thread and see what Rootschatters can come up with.  This would give you a better idea of the websites we use which are most useful for the area/era you are searching.

Thank you. I believe the majority are in a cemetery in Wallasey Merseyside.

OK - not an area I know, but is this old thread any help?

Are there specific people you hope to find?  Names and dates would make it easier to help.

Thanks so much. That is indeed the cemetery I am looking for.
