I returned last night from my research trip to Wabash County, Indiana and wow, did I accomplish a lot!
Myself, my mom and aunt took over 300 cemetery photos that now need to be uploaded to Find A Grave. We also visited both the Wabash and North Manchester Libraries and did some research in their genealogy departments. The most fun I had was knocking on a door, asking if they had an old cemetery on their property and then donning my hiking boots for a trek through the woods to visit a VERY old cemetery! That was a great experience and I was able to find stones for a couple of my ancestors who died in the early 1800's!
I have so many stories to tell but first I need to organize all my findings and also my thoughts.
It was a perfect Mother's Day weekend for me. I hope all of you had the same!
Can't wait to hear the stories!!!!!
