Here is a interesting article that may help find a missing
ancestor. It's about a wonderful witty man with a really
wild hobby -- grave yard dowsing!
With two little metal rods or even a bent coat hanger, he
can workout the dimensions of a grave, and tell if it is a
man or a woman.
Joan Rose has written a very interesting article that can
be seen in the current issue of the Signal, the biweekly
newsletter of the US Internet Genealogical Society.

I hope you take a look. And P.S. Talking about cemeteries --
In the same issue, Pam Reitsch tells how a Boy Scout in her
area took over the project of cleaning up and improving an
old cemetery. It is worth considering as an Eagle Award
project in your area.
