It has been quite an adventure for me over the years looking for lost family cemeteries and reading the epitaph's written on a persons stone. To me it tells a lot about "who and what" that person was and the impact they made in this world or their family during their lifetime. I have to give my brother credit as he started our family genealogy many years ago. We always referred to it as "Grave Hoppin". At first I had little interest but would entertain my brother when he would send me out on "missions" to find a relative and take a picture of their stone. Over the years it has evolved in helping others with the same goal. What an enjoyable hobby this has now become.
