Really dug this article and thought I'd share it:

Being Dead in Pittsburgh - Boing Boing

What's really cool was seeing that detailed map of my neighborhood from 1939.

The anonymous comment ticked me off -- when you're into genealogy those old graveyards are TREASURES.... and those people I find who are relatives really matter.
