I wonder if it would be at all possible to find out who some of those in unmarked graves are.

I've explored the old Athens cemetery that's right on the edge of the UGA campus - over near Baldwin Street - I don't know the name of it. There are some beautiful stones, but most are crumbling to pieces.

Maybe once the archeological team is done they will be able to give more info on that? Or maybe there are records somewhere showing who is buried there? I'm not sure how all that works really. I think helping out on this project would be great for someone who has time for volunteer work helping to clear the brush. If I didn't have 2 kids in diapers, I'd offer help myself. My poor kids don't know what they are in for when they get big enough to help people.. I'll have them volunteered along with myself on everything that that interests me whether they like it or not. Then, I've promised their grandparents who have a farm they they can have the kids for the summer when they are old enough to help out instead of get in the way. Atleast they'll know the meaning of work!
