I live in Cleveland, OH with my huband Allen, but most of my family (both living and deceased) are in northeastern Pennsylvania (Luzerne County). My maternal grandfather and uncle were caretakers of the Emmanuel Cemetery in Dorrance, PA, so I grew up appreciating cemeteries and their significance. I've done some research of my family tree and want to continue it.I'm also an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ denomination and my partner is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination. As such, I am interested in the messages/theology reflected in the art and texts on tombstones.
