I like to tramp through cemeteries, too, so I'm delighted to find this community of like minded folks. I am as fascinated with the tombstones of strangers as I am with those of my own kinfolks. When I was in junior high, my family lived across the street from a cemetery and I found it to be a place of peace and quiet in a hectic world.

The surnames I research include Troutman, Pratt, Thomas, Waggoner, Havens, Harman, Thompson, McIntyre, Whisenhunt, Geer, Moore, Myers, Deal, Campbell, Turner, Dent, and that's just for starters. Then on my husband's side: Noble, Butler, Hinds, Buzan, Driskell, Carnes, and more.
