The saddest 😢 place in any cemetery or mausoleum I visit, is the children's section. When I think of all those broken hearted parents, I almost want to cry. Thank you very much Leo and Heather, for all that you do. Have a great day.

First, let me say that you have the most interesting channel. It is so different and unique. There are some other channels on KZbin that include visits to cemeteries, but you and Heather actually have done research on the people whom you are looking for in the cemeteries. This is why I enjoy watching and listening to your videos. Second, Leo always goes out and climbs so many steps and hillsides to find some cemeteries. He is determined to find the cemetery he is looking for and generally finds it. From watching all of the videos on this channel that includes cemeteries, I have learned so much more about the Hatfields and McCoys. They are such sad and tragic stories. Leo always finds children's graves in almost every cemetery he has visited. This is the sad part of every cemetery. Heather does such an awesome job of researching and I love the music she chooses to accompany some of the videos. Thank you Leo and Heather for another piece of history.

Thank you Leo and Heather so much for doing these videos, it's a true honor that you both are doing for the family members and those that are laid to rest!! I have one breadcrumb of where my great grandpa is buried the town but I can't find anything else so I assume he is not marked and there's no info on his family so I hit dead ends so that's why I love your channel and I'm a hillbilly who loves our history and roots!! God bless you both

Hope y’all stayed safe throughout the tornadoes and storms. I was thinking of you guys! ♥️ 🙏🏼 My family are in Louisville and in the surrounding areas. My cousin said apple sized hail was hitting hard last night. Prayers for everyone..love from Oregon.

Great video Leo And Heather 💕🤗

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Another good video. You are so right that maybe someone will find an ancestor. What I find so interesting is the number of babies buried. I don't know when it started or ended but for many years babies who were stillborn or died shortly after birth were just taken from the mother no funeral no grave. Just gone. My paternal grandmother had a stillborn daughter in the 30's & a pair of premature twins in the 1946 my aunt survived but her brother did not. I cannot find a grave for either & sadly anyone I could ask is gone. What torture that had to be for families. I just find it so interesting that the cemeteries you visit have so many infant deaths with marked graves.

[@neeceeboo777]

Great video y'all. Always so informative. One has to really appreciate the foot work and effort y'all put forth to bring what I'm sure,is closure to alot of people. Lord bless y'all.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Appreciate that. Thank you.

[@debpalm8667]

Thanks, Leo. Interesting 🤔.

[@sherrilee230]

I wonder if those cemeteries were all one at one time or divided from feuds in the family so they all decide to have their own plot very interesting thank you for sharing

Hello Leo and Heather

[@cindywoods4645]

I love your videos, such an interesting piece of history. As a former West Virginian, how would i go about finding out what cemetery my grandparents are buried in. I know its somewhere in WVA. My grandfather was a coal miner from Shinston. Thank you for any assistance.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Have you tried a search on find a grave, with his name location and death date? Sometimes you may need to change the way you word the search, with/without middle names, etc... You can also do a regular search on google, to try to find a death certificate. That can also point you in the right direction. Good luck! I hope you find what you're looking for. :-)
