My cousin from Lynchburg was doing the driving. We heard about several homestead cemeteries but just went to a few as we wanted to check with the owners first before going on their property. We also went to several of the church cemeteries. This was my first real hunt and I found that I have to learn better skills and be prepared to take information from the "field".
