I'm a newspaperman, the editor for the past 19 years of The Arlington Sun, our local weekly in Arlington, SD. I've always been interested in history, and find that genealogy helps get you "inside" the stories, to see not just what happened, but who made it happen and what they were like. The material at findagrave adds a few more clues, and some concrete evidence regarding people and relationships that is too often lacking when pursuing genealogical research online. And it's better for my aging brain than sitting around, watching TV.
