Browsing:

If you’d like to browse the list, no sign up is necessary. Click on “Men” to see the men’s list, and on “women” to see the women’s. Once there, you can search for a particular person, using the person’s name, or his “year of birth”, or any other relevant information you have. You may also conduct a search, by using a keyword.

For example, let’s say you are looking for those who were born in Yazd. Choose “Yazd” from the dropdown menu at ”Country of Birth”, and then click on “search”. All those who were born in “Yazd” will be displayed.

You may also conduct a search , based on a “keyword”. Let’s say your grandfather worked for the Iranian oil company, and you are helping him search for some of the people, with whom he worked, and are now deceased. Type “Oil” in “Keyword”, and anyone having “Oil” as a keyword in his tribute page, will be displayed.

You can also leave a comment on anyone’s memorial page. Your comment, if approved by the page sponsor, will be posted on the page.
