Others were brought from other parts of this cemetery and placed in the "Circle." Wenn es um die Verwaltung, Erstellung und Wartung der Webseite geht, wird Find A Grave weitgehend von seinem Gründer, Jim Tipton betrieben. Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
