I'd forgotten how much fun it is.<BR/><BR/>KF, yep, the old ones especially are. I've been looking up the symbology of some of the older images.<BR/><BR/>Autumn, check out findagrave.com. You can request photos! If you're lucky, people who live near there will take them for you.<BR/><BR/>Bobbie, I was lucky that some of my ancestors were in GA, where they have some older graveyards still intact. It can be more difficult in AL.<BR/><BR/>RA, his voice is wonderful, isn't it?!<BR/><BR/>AM, you are exactly right. Lots of the older inscriptions are warnings to the living, that time is short.<BR/><BR/>3C, with me it's the opposite... I'm trying to get my mother addicted! She's getting more interested, I think. :)Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-6841863130169750952008-01-17T15:42:00.000-06:002008-01-17T15:42:00.000-06:00My mother dragged various family members (includin...My mother dragged various family members (including me) through many graveyards in the course of genealogical research. After a while it got to be fun and we stop whenever we can to walk around and read the stones. I just love photos like these of older markers.

I love old graveyards and the feeling of "smallness" that they give me; it's always a good reminder about how short our time on earth is and the importance of leaving the world a better place for those that come after us.Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04897791546363838272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-56878805894968499512008-01-17T10:39:00.000-06:002008-01-17T10:39:00.000-06:00Yes, old graveyards are so cool.

They do spark one's imagination, don't they? I only wish I was able to go grave hunting in PA, where some of my ancestors are buried.bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658103343742852411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-26169063438417458412008-01-17T09:28:00.000-06:002008-01-17T09:28:00.000-06:00I love love love old graveyards.

I think most of my ancestors are in Heard Co. and I have been there hundreds of times, but now that I am older I want photos. We are thinking of a trip there maybe this summer. <BR/>Thanks for the google link. It will be fun checking it out.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840399136320094652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-40500663928656281312008-01-17T08:43:00.000-06:002008-01-17T08:43:00.000-06:00I love old graveyards, any graveyard really.
