My mother has spent most of her life having me tag along to the gravesites of ancestors. I hadn't found much interest in all of this until my daughter (adopted granddaughter) and grandson were killed in an automobile accident in June 2011. A request came in for a photo of their gravestones. A friend called and asked if I could take the photo and post. That's where my journey began. I'm having fun searching for cemeteries and it's enjoyable to take the time to take photos. The most difficult and yet most rewarding thing is to find a gravestone that is difficult to read and do the research to figure out to whom it belongs. Now I'm hooked!
