I spent some time labeling headstone pictures

4. My sisters and I spent a lot of summers helping Mom trace her genealogy

Since most of her ancestors moved to Perry County, Alabama between 1819 and 1834, we'd go spend part of the summers staying with her parents and wandering around graveyards taking pictures of tombstones. Mom would also spend time at the courthouse looking up wills and deeds, which I helped transcribe while I was learning to type.

I need to get those pictures labeled and online - they were taken in the 1950s and 1960s and the stones were in much better condition then. Looking at FindAGrave.com now, quite a few of them have been posted, but they are broken and damaged.

Good for you putting flowers at the graves.
