Volunteers Help With Grave Matters

One of the wonderful things I like about genealogy work is all the new friends you make who exchange information. Most of these new friends, I will never meet in person. But, thanks to the internet, we find each other through common interests and exchange data, pictures, stories and hints. A truly amazing aspect of this is how many people will volunteer their time and resources to go to cemeteries in their area and take photos of grave markers for those too distant to do it themselves. Grave markers can be a very useful source of information. The efforts of those who do this is very much appreciated.
