Primarily a genealogist and family historian rather than a graver, I enjoy the challenge of studying one big old-fashioned family plot at a time -- the kind with dozens of burials dating as far back as 200 years that leave descendants scratching their heads and saying,
"Who ARE all these people and how are they related to ME?"
There is a lot of satisfaction to be had in unraveling that kind of puzzle, turning a list of names and dates back into a web of relationships, and restoring at least some of a family's lost memories of the people behind the names back into the possession of the living.
Thanks to all the gravers out there who have made Find A Grave such a wonderful resource for all the rest of us.
