I really liked this as it captured the spirit of genealogy as well as the need for it.

Genealogy 'n' Peer Pressure
I enjoy the Pickles comic strip - the artist is LDS but this did make me think of something you run into when you do a bit of genealogy: looking at what your ancestors survived to bring you into the world.

Multnomah Park Cemetery, Portland, Oregon, Internment Map (PDF)
As I am out and about doing cemetery work, I have noticed that not a lot of cemeteries have maps for their internments published online.
Often you have to go to their office and get a photocopy before you can find your way around. If you're lucky. Word to the wise: call and know before you go.
As a service to the public, I'm publishing here a link to the PDF copy of the Multnomah Park Cemetery burial layouts and numbering in Portland, Oregon.
While there are many cemeteries in Portland, and I do not have the space to do this for all cemeteries on this blog, I thought I would add a few of the more historical and prominent ones I have worked with.
I actually just got back from a historic and very very large cemetery that had this issue and wished someone else might have published the info for me.
So, to whoever, wherever, here you go!
