    It is too bad that I missed this workshop. I think going and looking at ancestors' graves is a really great genealogy tool. This Memorial day I went to a few cemeteries where I know some of my ancestors are buried and wrote down some information on them. It was really good to finally learn about my family history. http://www.utahcemetery.com
