Gravestone Groupies
In the last few years I have discovered that it is possible to locate and photograph gravestones of my ancestors (back to a certain point where people were buried without them). Don't laugh; it's a hobby and even more of an obsession than technology.
Today, I decided to learn how to use Flickr, which is a photosharing Web site owned by Yahoo. I have linked this blog to it in hope that I can show off some of my favorite photos on my blog.
My cousin, Fred Burdick, town historian for Stonington, CT is making and selling (to benefit family associations and historical societies) CD's of photos (with genealogical information) of the graveyards in that area. He's preserving history. I think this is a great idea, don't you?

Thanks for your posting. How can I buy the gravestone photo CD?

Fred Burdick is the town historian for Stonington, CT. You may email him at fburdick@comcast.net
He had created several CDs of colonial graveyards of the area.
I have posted other gravestones at my other blog, "Granite-in-My-Blood"
