This week I managed to post my next Alphabet
challenge. G is for Gravestone. I have to admit that it is taking me a
longer to wend my way through the Family History Through the Alphabet Challenge than I first imagined. The great
upside of this project is the discovery of new resources, genealogy
sites and blogs as I research each topic. When I started the post G for Gravestones, I
thought would be quick and straight forward, but no!! I was amazed at
the number of sights/blogs that either provide
the history of gravestones through the ages, the different types of
gravestones or grave markers, the sad and whimsical stories associated
with particular gravestones, the historical events related to particular
cemeteries, photos and inscriptions from cemeteries,
war cemeteries and their history and the meanings of the markings and
symbols on gravestones to mention a few.
