I found this image of a tombstone while I was searching Flickr for interesting pictures. It's a genealogist's dream because it gives a complete genealogy right on the tombstone. It's also a great example of tombstone art. www.flickr.com/photos/oldeastsidr/829567271.

This is a record of my progress through the Nebraska Learns 2.0 program and my thoughts about genealogical research.

This is really neat. I've looked up a lot of things on Flickr, but I never thought of it as a source for genealogical information!
That is really neat Rayma! Wow, it would be wonderful to stumble on family information going back to the 1500's!
I took that picture. It is one-half of the actual tombstone. The photo is cropped from the original I took. The full photo (unfortunately it disappeared into harddrive limbo)actually has the same type of information for another branch of the family. If I remember correctly, there is another similar tombstone with info about other branches. I will try and take new photos of both tombstones when I get back out there.
