Anyway, several people that are very distant relatives thanked me for the photos of the grave sites. I had no idea people would want the photos at the time. They all lived in different states. With the date of birth and death and the location of the grave they can find the death certificate, and find more data about their ancestors. There is lots of public information on people. Military service, and former addresses and what they did for a living. Doing a family tree is a rabbit hole and you can spend the rest of your life building the tree. I quite after 10 generations. Past that, it was pointless to me.
