Sorry I've been gone so long, I've been caring for my mother. Additions for 2020-2024 visits will go up as soon as I can.

Coimetromania:
(n.) an abnormal attraction to and desire to visit cemeteries.
Join us on our quest to find and photograph the headstone and final resting place of each and every family member. My direct line was added first (parents - grandparents - great grandparents), and now I am branching out to cemeteries, or "road trips", when we see how many cemeteries in a county we can get to in a single day.
TRIP STORIES will give you a behind the scenes look into why we do this. You can also get a feel what our Cemetery Days are like. If you have questions or leads for us, feel free to drop us a line!
Listed to your left are the cemetery and individual family pages that I have done so far. There are MANY, MANY more to go that we have already visited...and will be added as quickly as possible. And there are even more across the United States still to find (jobs, unfortunately, are getting in the way). Links are provided on these pages so you can move between family members and cemeteries that have a completed page.
