I have recently started researching my ancestry and have already found several of my ancestors burial sites. I was extremely moved when I found one that I had been searching for. I was a child when he was no longer around. It was an old man, Born 1889, with a wooden leg and a cane that lived next door to my relatives. I only knew him by his first name, but he was dear to me. I would visit him when I was there and we would talk for hours. We had a special bond as friends and enjoyed each others company. Over 40 years later I found he was a distant relative and was ill when he had to go away to a hospital and I never saw him again. I did acquire a drawing of his shack and his wooden cane, which I will never part with. I finally found his grave. I want to help other people find closer too.
