Cemeteries will speak to you, if you listen.

Many times the missing clue, needed to complete information on a loved one, is found in a cemetery. It may be the inscription on a gravestone, "son of . . .", "daughter of . . .", or "wife of . . ." or something else. Many times, especially in the old cemeteries, it is the placement of the graves. If a person is buried in a family burial site, with very few exceptions, they ARE family, even if the connection is not immediately known. In other words, 'Who are they buried with?'

For this reason, where possible, I try to include photographs of the gravesite, as well as of the individual gravestone. This provides others an equal chance of interpreting the gravesite and 'solving the riddle'.
