Genealogy #68: Detective Work

I attempted to do some oral history with my mother around her 85th birthday. Not really having a plan of procedure, she just really started talking about various happenings from her childhood as I took notes. I feel compelled to attempt it again with a recorder. She would be a great subject, as she's very talkative (and opinionated).

I had some difficulty determining how to find the oldest grave in the Ponca, Nebraska cemetary. I did not find the help section for Find-A-Grave user friendly (or the site in general). It did look like several of the graves (over 300) went back to the mid-1800's (date of death).
