It took me quite a while to figure out where my gggrandmother was buried because even with a map, the little paths and roads through the cemetery were tricky to follow. She has no marker. My guess is that she outlived her son, so maybe daughter-in-law didn't care.

The first cemetery is outside DC where her parents are buried and it is quite large. Over the years it has greatly expanded and now has markers for many new ethnic/national people who prefer very different styles of gravestones. The stone shapes and materials are different, and some have images of the departed engraved on the stone. A large number were in Korean, Chinese and Cyrlic scripts. <br /><br />The second cemetery was where my father's parents are buried and it's in a small town which we haven't visited in many years. Nonetheless my mom easily remembered the exact location of the grave markers. We took several photos of the markers including the one of my uncle and his wife who both died 10+ years ago. This past week my mom found a old snapshot of the two of them proudly standing next to that same marker which they had just had installed on their plot. The date of deaths of course not yet engraved.

I only did this once, with my great uncle buried in the WWI grave in France, and it’s sad but uplifting at the same time. You must have felt proud - of yourself for finding him, and of him for the passing on of his genes.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-17363402321752239882018-01-18T21:34:04.704-05:002018-01-18T21:34:04.704-05:00I'm always finding little errors after I'v...I'm always finding little errors after I've posted my blog entry and often have to go back and correct it. I like the way you trip to the grave yard almost reads like a travellogue. What a wonderful find 2 more names.
