They are the repositories of the rich history of San Diego, the only places where the dead can still speak to the living &#8211; not as ghosts, but as legacies carved in tombstones. Cemeteries are a good starting point to learn about the pioneers and leaders who built this city, and to hear those stories not as often told that give us a truer sense of what it means to be San Diegans. Seeing the graves of the deceased lends a deeper sense of reality to their stories that merely hearing them cannot produce.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good article &#8211; she covers several cemeteries in the area, and mentions particularly interesting people\/events that are related to them.  I think as more and more people get into genealogy, and realize just how important cemeteries are to a genealogist, you&#8217;re going to find more and more people visiting cemeteries, recording the information for other (or future) genealogists, as well as working to preserve them.<\/p>\n<p><!-- google_ad_section_end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another cemetery-related article covering genealogists, this time from Heather Quinn, writing in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailyaztec.com\/\">The Daily Aztec<\/a>, San Diego State University.
