Ancestors

Yesterday we went on a quest to Azleland Cemetery to get pictures of the headstones of our family members.  Many people post pictures of ancestors' burial places to connect their family history on Ancestry.com.  A really great site is Findagrave, you can look up a relative's name and possibly come up with a photo of the headstone and the name of the cemetery.  It is a really great community of people helping people in their searches.  Just request a photo from a cemetery and others will go and locate/photograph it for you.  This is really important for people who live many states away.  I took a list of names that were requested for Azleland, but I could only find one with a headstone the others on my list were not marked.  So I could only take a picture of the one to post.  But at least I did get 8 of our relative's headstones, Mom & Dad, Jody & Granny, June & Jonnie, and Jon's grandparents too.

Today we hit 3 different yard sales but didn't find a thing.  Just as well, since I'm trying to go through this house and get rid of stuff.  The wind is really blowing today, about 35 miles per hour.

Japan has been hit by the largest earthquake in 150 years, and terrible tsunami and fires, also the nuclear power plants are becoming dangerous.  I'm so glad I live so far inland from the ocean.  It can be so dangerous and when it happens it is often so unexpected.
