Summer Road Trip 2010!

We went on a genealogy road trip through Oklahoma in 2010. We started out in southeastern Oklahoma and visited Clarita, OK and Moore cemetery. We then visited OKC but not a cemetery there. This detour was too see the interactive science muesuem! We came back down through Clinton, OK to see a cemetery there and photograph some of our family there. We camped at Ozarka Mountains. We spent several days here. We visited Alfalfa and Mountain View and Carnegie, OK. This was interesting for my mother because she was born in Carnegie.

So our journey took us over a large portion of Oklahoma, 6 cemeteries and countless photos of stones that lay in those cemeteries. This road trip was to see places that me and my boys had never seen. It was an opportunity for them to see how history is tied to them. 

Have you ever thought of visiting a place where your relatives lived. It's really cool thinking you are walking where they did long before. Would love to be able to hear them talk about their lives.

If you want to see some of the photos we took on this trip you can find them on findagrave.com. You can see my profile HERE.
