The things we do and the places we go. To fill in blanks on Mary’s latest genealogy project we went to a little cemetery with just four headstones that mark six burials of my relatives. The guide is Norm Vangsness with whom I share some common ancestors. He knew the location of this cemetery as he had found it a year ago and took us to it this day. Obviously, it is unkempt and neglected but satisfying to visit and commune with those laid to rest.
