I don't get out to visit cemeteries as I'm home-bound disabled but one of my avid distractions since 2002 has been tracing long deceased relatives who I never knew existed before I started. Meeting these folks through marriage licenses, census rolls and death certificates has given their ordinary lives an intensity that maybe be unwarranted. But I'm happy to have found Find A Grave so I can cyberly visit their graves and lay some flowers there.
