    And not a one in the old graves in the old cemetery would know a thing about electricity, radio, movies, telephones, airplanes, automobiles, TV, space flight, landing on the moon, satellites, world wide instant communications, internet, cell phones, digital video and the lists goes on. The most they could know were steam engines and perhaps photography and telegraphy as new fangled things. Their world was so completely different than ours.

European cemetaries usually have playgrounds in them so that is where we were while they were looking fo family graves. My mother would talk to people an we would even meet relatives. We were related to the chief of police in Luxembourg. Even went to Lichtenstein an found some. Weird but wonderful childhood while my dad was stationed overseas

He enlisted in May 1862, participated in a number of engagements and died of typhoid fever on Sept 5, 1862. Jimmy Carter is a direct descendent. Carter’s great-grandfather, Nathaniel Nunn Nicholson was given William’s army pay of $44 and his clothing. I wonder if the local authority is aware of this.

    in 100 years or less nobody remembers or cares. the memorials are made for the LIVING, not the dead. and when there are no more living who care the memorial is forgotten and abandoned. the dead dont know or care either way., they are not "resting " in the graves. thier soul is either in heaven or hell. the remenant of thier bodies slowly returning to the earth. they lived a life, shed thier bodies, and thier soul continues on.

It is an overwhelming feeling-I live near Arlington National Cemetery and have family members and friends buried there, and when I look out over the sea of headstones, the knowledge that so many lives and stories rest there is mind boggling.

    This is a bittersweet expedition of discovery. When a person dies, with thankfully few exceptions, he or she leaves behind such sadness and sense of loss. Because of that, the survivors want to mark their profound emotions and to honor the deceased and over time, the inevitable usually gets swept up with the fact that the old adage "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust" prevails. I imagine most of us wnt to erect a Great Pyramid or the equivalent to our dead loved ones but we bow to our traditions and mark a grave in the manner of our beliefs, ability to afford and so on. Then, time steps in and we return to the soil and only the historians keep track of us out of some around curiosity and desire to remember their stories. The trees grow, the markers topples and that's the way it goes. You guys were so respectful.

    Greetings from Canada. In writing the history of my family I could never get an exact date and place of death for my great great grandfather who emigrated from Ireland to Ontario, Canada. He and his wife settled on Ile du Grand Calumet in the Ottawa River, Pontiac County, Quebec after coming over in 1817 from Kilkenny. I will be forever grateful to the men from Ile du Grand Calumet who explored a deep embankment just behind the Catholic church on the Island. They found the top part of my great great parents headstone. It read "Michael Cahill, died 1838." They posted what they found from fragments on the Facebook page "Ile du Grand Calumet Memories" That answered my questions. Wherever possible historical associations or even individuals should post information from these old headstones before it's gone forever. In Ontario by law the municipality must maintain and try to conserve old headstones. Unfortunately in Quebec there is no such law and we are losing our history of the pioneers.

    I am so pleased to see your appreciation of people who lived so long ago. I've been doing genealogical research for the last eleven years. One of my main goals was to record all the old family stories for future generations of the family (like, as an example, my great grandmother seeing/hearing Abraham Lincoln give a campaign speech when she was a young girl). I wrote about my family's personalities, good points, talents, occupations, and even their life disappointments in some cases for a well-rounded picture of what they were really like. I didn't want to eventually pass out of this world with future generations of the family thinking our ancestors were nothing more than headstones in a cemetery. I also got all the old family photos identified and posted on my tree so they could never be lost to "File 13". I hope I did a good job -- Diane.

    I love to stroll through old grave yards, reading the headstones, I get a deep appreciation for these people who were before us (family), believing in their country and most importantly our Heavenly Father, but I have a great sadness thinking about the state our once great nations were and what these people would think now if they could see. We've let them down because we have lost sight of who we are and why we're here sadly :(

    Just subscribed, love what your doing. It’s crazey, in the village I live in South Yorkshire England the church is nearly a thousand years old. There is an abandoned graveyard in village I grew up and they got loads of graves in 1800’s. We are spoilt though because they seem new compared to the ancient graves we got. At st Mary the virgin in beighton in Sheffield there is the grave of the queen of the gypsys. I forget how old it is but I will post it.

This is just awesome. Very moving. Its almost hard to express all the thoughts and feelings that run through me. People are my main interest. I'm in awe of life here on earth and curious about my eventual passing over to where many fine people are already waiting, in glory. Thank you for this.

What I take from your documentation is towns and villages that no longer exist. Places I can look into and maybe find a thread! Thank You...please don't stop.

Y'all should enter them on findagrave. If you have the time, you can look them up on findagrave on your phone while there. Many times findagrave will have history of individuals.

They fought brother father cousin friend.it was a very sad and tragic time in the history of the United States as I went back and researched my family history I found that my family killed my family. Their friends killed them and they killed their friends. To remember them no matter what side they fought for we must always remember and respect the passion that they had for what they believed in. That was what helped the United States become the country that we are. Was a passion of belief. Thank you once again.

    That is so sad! All those lives, friends, parents, children, aunts, uncles, sisters, and brothers.. I believe that the civil war was a senseless war. Slavery should've never happened, and they fought to keep it going. But, God in his infinite power and grace, stopped it. So many lives taken in the process. Now they lay there lost to time, left to decay as the rest of humanity changed and grew. But you, Robert, go to these places, all covered up, and left behind, and you speak their names one more time. Letting us see, and hear their names, and we imagine what their lives were like. It's truly heartbreaking, and awe inspiring at the same time. On the behalf of everyone else who watches these videos, I thank you for what you do! I'm not able to go to these places, but I feel like I'm there with you. God bless you, and everyone who does this.. and thank you!

    I really appreciated your video and will subscribe for more. Growing up in the sticks of Alabama I always had a passion for history and exploration within the local area. One of the things the women in my family always did (often on Sundays after church) was to go "graveyard hopping". It always fascinated me to go to these forgotten or almost-forgotten locations and hear my aunts or my grandmother talk about that location, the people buried there, and even the families that still lived in the area. Intriguing and sad at the same time. Maybe even more sad is that hunting for the past like this is a thing that seems largely lost on the younger generations. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the video.
