I have had a fascination with cemeteries and gravestone as long as I can remember. On 10/18/2010 I lost my grandmother and on 9/29/2011 I lost my grandfather. My grandmother was into genealogy long before the internet and she was also famous for remembering dates and saving every picture she ever had. I started getting into genealogy a couple years ago, but really got into it the day she died and ever since! When my grandfather died I inherited all of the pictures. The oldest one I found so far is from 1917. I love looking at the pictures from long ago, wondering what it was like living during those times.
I feel like I hit the jackpot every time I come across new information - or missing links.
I will be adding new memorials as I work through my family tree. As of right now I am interested in surnames: Wagner, Thompson, Hardy, Lea, Sebold. Other surnames in my family tree include Jasper, Holmes, Shaw, Fleury.
