I am interested in family history and love cemeteries. People don't understand that; there is so much history to be learned there; cemeteries are quiet, restful places, and many are quaint and beautiful. Our Memorial Day family tradition was to visit our cemeteries and decorate the graves of family members by weeding, planting flowers, and cleaning the gravestones. My grandmother always packed a picnic lunch to eat in the cemetery after the work was done. Since I now have family all over, Find A Grave helps me "visit."
