Tips
for Cemetery Research |
 |
Cemeteries
are the one place where you can be the closest to your ancestors,
both physically and spiritually. While it is always a thrill

Upon A Tomb - Newfoundland (NEW!) |

Once
Upon A Tomb - Nova Scotia (NEW!) |
...It
was raining buckets in the late afternoon when I got to
the Fairview Cemetery, but it was exactly the right way
to see those long rows of small grey box markers. Each

Verona,
even on a wet day in spring you have to queue to enter the

at Juliet's famous balcony... |
