This is part of WikiProject Missing articles, an effort to use outside sources to determine what articles are missing from Wikipedia.
This list includes famous people from Find A Grave. Although each name was separately approved by the staff of Find-A-Grave, putting this list into a form that Wikipedia can use has broken some of the names. Please use the Find-A-Grave link next to each name to help fix corrupted names.

"Famous"
As for how Find-A-Grave defines "famous":
- Q. How does Find A Grave define 'famous'?
- A. Please don't confuse importance with fame. Every one of your ancestors is important, and every veteran deserves to be remembered and honoured—but that does not mean that they are 'famous'. An individual is more likely to be designated as 'famous' on the Find A Grave site if he or she is well known outside of his or her local community.
If you believe a person on this list may be non-notable, please place them in a separate section at the bottom of that list's page under the heading "Possibly non-notable", and with a short explanation of why you believe the person to not be notable. Do not delete any names from this list, even if they're blue links, unless you've verified that the person linked is the same person on Find-A-Grave's site. Some of the items on this list are not people, but memorials, etc. Please follow the same process mentioned above for determining notability.
Suggestions
- Do not copy and paste text from Find-A-Grave.
- For help on how to write biographies, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography.
- The Find-A-Grave dates may be wrong by a year or two.
- Check to make sure the topic does not already have an article in Wikipedia, if so make a redirect
- Fix spelling or other errors in the list
