As I think about it now, I think it was always my mother's parents and aunts and uncles, all of whom were first generation US Americans. I know the cemetery my my paternal grandparents are buried, but really have no clue about any progeny further back than that.

Sorry about the headstone. I hope you can find a trail. Like others have said, the way families spread out these days, it would be really hard to visit them all.

Since I'm not one of the heaven believers I believe we live on through the memories of our loved ones, even those that come generations later. I'd love to live near an old cemetery I could walk in and perhaps do a little care of it.<br /><br />In 2009 I organized my cousins to help in putting markers at two graves of family grandmothers who though dead close to 100 years had never had a marker. It really irritated me that everyone in the family had markers but the two mothers. Grrrrr I organized a remembrance event and flew back to Texas for it. Cousins from 10 states met in the family cemetery for this event. It's one of my best memories.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-60653612857237581242016-05-30T08:35:14.062-07:002016-05-30T08:35:14.062-07:00Glad you found those you could.
