I am an amateur genealogist, tracing my ancestry for the last 25 years. My family has been in America since the mid-17th century and many of my ancestors are buried in cemeteries on former family homesteads. I love old cemeteries. The trees, the elaborately carved headstones, the epithets, the peace and serenity of a place with many stories to share. I have visited cemeteries all over the world.
