Whenever I make a trip back up north, every year or two, I always try to make it to the cemeterys. I usually make a day of it, stop by my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, brothers, cousins, for a visit. I find it helps me to focus on them, helps jar some long forgotten memories. I know I don't need to go to the cemetery to remember them, but I find it calming and comforting to be there. Maybe it's because I remember going as a child with my parents, and saw how comforting it was for them.
I never really got into genealogy until recently, I wish I would have thought about it when there were still some of my last generation alive to answer some of the questions I have now.
