Today, I began working on my Graveyard Rabbit Carnival posting for the month. The theme is cemeteries in the news and I found two articles to blog about. Mainly news about cemeteries is concerned with vandalism and lately about some city cemeteries running out of space for burials.
At random, I found this great blog post about a Perkins family here in Massachusetts. Although this is not my line of Perkins, it is a wonderful example of a genealogy line on a man's gravestone. [Source: GenealogyGirls]
I chatted on the phone with another genealogist about what we like and what we don't like about genealogy. It is always interesting to hear about someone elses experiences. Good ideas to ponder.
I spent the rest of the day working on my new system for recording the gravestones for blogging and research. It is amazing how many women do not have their maiden names listed on their gravestones!
