    It was a very old photo of a gravestone that got me interested in genealogy in the first place. I managed to find it and it was still standing . They can give us so much extra information. In my case pricing a Family "story". To be not quite the truth!!.
    Your blog is really interesting. I'll keep checking for new posts

      Lauren, Thank You for you comment. You are so right., When I found the gravestone of a 4th great grandfather, two years ago in Mamakating, Sullivan, New York, I got so much extra information. The family members buried by him filled in so much of the Sherwood story.
