I just wanted to share something my husband and I find helpful when doing cemetery research. Usually, each of us will head off in a different direction when looking for graves in a cemetery, and it always seems like the one who finds a grave is never the one who has the clipboard, notebooks, etc., and the person that does have them is usually on the other side of the cemetery.
To remedy that, we purchased a pair of small walkie-talkies that have a two-mile range. Now we can confer with each other without losing our place in the cemetery, or one can sit in the car with the books and the laptop computer and the other can dictate the findings. It also gives great peace of mind in knowing that help is at hand should one of us twist an ankle.
