Geo-caching brings us to numerous cemeteries. The " Instant Relative Series " is a means to connect stories with names, lives and memories of intriguing people from the past.
The " Instant Relative Series " is being created because of my interest in history, genealogy research, and Geo-caching. Instant relatives are not necessarily related directly to me.
The goal is to geo-cache cemeteries, historic sites and other locations in order to share stories which will entertain and educate . If one should find inaccuracies within stories or information posted, please email and I will make corrections as necessary.
As one epitaph on a monument a cemetery in Savannah Georgia reads, " Cosmos Mariner Destination Unknown" . To learn more about Geo-caching, please visit www.geocaching.com
