There are thousands of historic cemeteries and burial grounds all over the state of New Hampshire, and a state lawmaker wants to make it easier to keep track of them.
Senator David Watters of Dover has been fascinated by old gravestones and cemeteries since he was in high school - he also researched them while teaching at UNH.
He says burial grounds reflect New Hampshire's history and tradition.
"In many towns they didn't have a local or central cemetery established you know sometimes into the 1800s."
