"Every grave is a story of a life, whether it's short or long..." I've had a love of old cemeteries for all of my adult life. Now that I am retired, I am indulging my fascination of old graves! I still remember the day that I found my great-great grandmother in a Danish cemetery in Nebraska in Find A Grave. The first name on the memorial was not correct, but the headstone was so worn, you couldn't really tell. What made the difference for me is that someone took the time to type in the only notice the paper had (from 1891) of her death. I am still very appreciative of that person's efforts. I hope to help other people find their ancestors.
