Family research is one hobby that has the power to in us the need to
know more about our ancestors and their lives. But why has it become
almost an obsession? Perhaps because this is our chance to truly
become detectives. We are searching for the secrets and passions of
our ancestors and perhaps we are even learning more about ourselves in
the process…

A great book...
Soul in the Stone: Cemetery Art from America's Heartland
by
- John
Gary Brown. You will see the loss that
families suffered through in the intricacy of massive stone mausoleums. You
will feel the emptiness of parents in the lifelike sculptures of their children. And you will shake your head at the quirkiness of folks whose death
markers are every bit as weird as they themselves must have been. Get this
and other great Books Here
You might also want
to look at the fascinating book Tombstones: 75 Famous People and Their Final Resting Places by Gregg Felsen. Rich with mysteries of the
past and every stone has a story.
