My other blog that goes more in depth about Genealogy Research and Cemeteries is Tracing Our Roots. I have been actively volunteering for Find a Grave since 2009 when my Grandma passed and I began being the Family Historian. Our heritage was very important to my Grandma and her Aunt Lovella, and many documents, photographs were shared through the years. I am now working on preserving the photographs, documents into digital copies for the family. There have been many who have dedicated their lives to gathering and confirming these historical information. Grandma and I would visit Sunset Memorial Cemetery where relatives were buried in Albuquerque, NM. Where she would share with me stories about them. She taught me how to navigate around cemeteries, how to find individuals who were missing markers, and how to read the older markers. I am a Volunteer for Whispers from the Dust, RAOGK.org, Names in Stones, and Find A Grave. Genealogy research has been something I have always enjoyed, as a child with my Grandma and Mother, and am now sharing the tradition with my kids.
