2014-07-21

Since we arrived here at Lake Lauderdale Campground, we have visited 4 different cemeteries out of the hundreds in the are to take pictures of ancestors’ tombstones. I have found which cemeteries to visit through Family Tree Maker and Ancestry.com.

On Friday the 18th, we went to St. Agnes Cemetery in Menands, NY to find graves of my ancestors. My Mother was a McDonald, and her father’s ancestors were buried there. 2014-07-18 St Agnes, Menands, Ny DSC07668 2014-07-18 St Agnes, Menands, Ny DSC07669 2014-07-18 St Agnes, Menands, Ny DSC07671

Sunday the 20th found us at the Hinsdillville Cemetery in North Bennington, VT. Here we found Grant White’s headstone. He is Marilyn’s 4th great grandfather. Of course there were pictures of other ancestors too. Grant White 1767-1850 & wife Lois Marsh 1768-1844
