My wifey has an all consuming hobby - genealogy. She has the harddrive full of all sorts of programs, spreadsheets, photo albums that link to the spreadsheets etc etc etc.<br /><br />When she builds the tree, she links as many photos as possible to the relevant person. Some are very old, some are recent, army photos, immigration photos, family portraits - anything she can find, she includes.<br /><br />Unfortunetly (for me) she likes to include a photo of a deceased persons headstone/memorial plaque. These days, cemeteries keep accurate books, they can tell you with pinpoint accuracy where a person is buried, ie: south lawn, section 5, row 9, plaque 20. But not so for burials of yesteryear, it's often a case of having to do the leg work.<br /><br />So what did I do today? I went grave hunting. 2 cemeteries and ten hours later, we found 14 relatives and documented the sites for eternity.<br /><br />Now I think I'll go fishin'
