This was one of the most interesting yard requests to date. A woman reached out to us for help, she has multiple family members that are buried in a cemetery down by the coast of North Carolina that has been consumed by mother nature. Normally tall grass is no match for us but the issue here is that many of the graves are scattered throughout the woods. So join us on this journey today as we search for lost gravestones, dodge a few falling limbs and clear out this cemetery so this family can find there loved ones once again. It came out amazing at the end so stick all the way through, thanks for your continued support

FYI in case you find another headstone that is tipped over... You can get construction adhesive and put under where the headstone was and then tip it back up. This will hold it in place better if the ground is un-level or a limb hits it. You guys are doing Great Work! I also hope you guys are going to go back and cut those stumps to the ground. Can't mow over them will tear up someones mower.
If you were in My part of Florida, You could do one that has Not been cut in 20yrs... Some have tried and wanted to help for a While, Until they got to know him and he would try to find a way to sue anyone who dose... Even sold the Lawnmower I lent him so him 13yrs ago to buy Beer..
Good job guys!.. that lady was really happy...
Also, for people who are genealogists, the information on gravestones is a treasure trove of genealogical family information.
15 years ago I was visiting a friend in the Ozarks and a storm downed a tree and made a mess in a small rural graveyard. Nobody seemed to care about it but I felt compelled to clean it up. So everyday for a week I rode the 4 wheeler to it with tools and snacks and cleaned it up by myself. It was a privilege for me to honor the people buried there. Good job Blessing boys. Keep on doing what you do.

God bless you 🙏✝️❤️
USN vet you. Thank YOU for your service!
Thanks for sharing and Caring
We looked at a property for sale , in Kentucky. There was a small graveyard on it. We were told that if you buy it, you take on the responsibility of it's upkeep, to honor. All over the Civil War states , Kentucky being torn in the middle of it. It was brothers turned on brothers. The country was young and having to go to war with one side or the other . Many Momma's cried.
It was a real eye opening for me ( from out West) to hear that the stories of that war are best learned from those that lived there,. News media is always propping up sensationalism. That grove was beautiful . Good job ,
I'm a cemetery Preservationist.I want to thank you for myself and for those who no longer have a voice. God bless you guys❤
I am a genealogist based in Scotland. Like you, I too see the importance of this work. Thank you for what you do.❤
Civil War cemetery in Ft Gaines Georgia needs restoration. It's in bad repair, been split up by a road, and a statue of a General has been moved. Mobile homes have even been positioned on parts of it. It is fairly large and most of the graves are the ones with the bricks built above ground. Just a suggestion if you're interested.
There are neglected graveyards all over the country. This was an extremely good learning experience for the blessing boys and I am talking about the young ones. They have learned to honor those that have gone before us. These boys are going to make wonderful citizens and Christians - kudos to this wise father.
They didn't learn to respect the dead in this video. Go back and count the times the blessing boys stood on the graves of those buried there. That shows ultimate disrespect! Shame on you!
@@nikkiwright2041 Flat headstones or none.. in kemp cemeteries, people walk everywhere. Nikki, I’d love to watch you walk a cemetery - 🙄 The boys are children. STOP!!
Amen
@nikkiwright2041 you must be a darn Democrat
Always condemning others
Sometimes you have to step on them to clean them, it’s not disrespectful it’s just the opposite ❤❤❤
Honoring our fallen soldiers, family grave sites and others is so important. Teaching others to respect cemeteries etc is so important. 🇺🇸 ✝️ ❤
If that graveyard isn't on Find A Grave then maybe these ladies could put it on there and list everyone that is in that graveyard for future generations
PFC Moore’s grave is listed on Find A Grave. It’s called the George Family Cemetery
Yes that would be great to know who's buried in there.
Thank you for not only helping a family find the graves of their loved ones, but for also helping preserve a piece of American history, too!
It would be great to have The Blessing Boys team up with Sidestep Adventures to do cleanups of historical neglected American cemeteries in the south! These cemeteries are lessons in history that we all need to learn about!!!
Thanks for makin’ America a brighter place and for so much hard work!
Ya’ll really are a blessing! God is good! 😍👍
@geoberger2003 Fantastic suggestion! I have watched plenty of videos posted by Sidestep Adventures. The 2 Roberts have discovered many hidden/forgotten gravesites.
Oh my, guys. I watch you as much as I can. Another great one. Cemeteries are special to me. Thanks for what you do.
@@missjeanferalcatsrmylife5335
Wow very interesting 👏 🤔
Put their info in my comment
Thanks another blessing 🙌 🙏 ❤
Please put their information in my comment this would be a great team together but I've never seen noe heard of the sidesteps
I guess I said it right but it's always a blessing seeing God children's at work blessings 🙌 others as God bless them 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 🤗 💋
Totally Agree. Its always sad to see cemeteries be neglected. Its like saying the people never existed. Their all our families.
You and your faimily really knocked it out of the park with this clean up. What I would like to suggest is have the family contact a local boy scout troop and see if they wouldn't be willing to take on keeping the area cleaned up, mowed, and trimmed. It would be a great service project for the scouts and a perfect way for honoring those and their legacy. Thank you!
Excellent 💡 idea!!!😊😊
And perhaps a church youth group?
I suggest a church youth group, as the boy scouts are no longer what they once were. It's different from place to place, but to be affiliated with the national boy scouts the local organization has to agree to hold to the national mission.
Respect. That’s what you are teaching your boys. To respect the sacrifice of others through their own sacrifice to uncover those graves.
I’m a volunteer with Find A Grave and as soon as I spotted a name, I looked up the cemetery y’all were working on. Thank you for your hard work cleaning it up. The website actually lists 5 requests for lost graves attributed to that cemetery. I wonder if you might have seen any of the names listed so their families could reconnect with them. Thank you again for your hard work on this and so many other wonderful jobs! You truly are Blessing Boys!
Find A Grave is such a great resource for not only family histories but historical research as well. I'm both a genealogist and a historian and I spend a lot of time on that site, just reading about the various places and people.
@charlayned an amazing job done by your team/family. BUT, how are these people going to maintain this graveyard in the future. And are there more graves in the trees on either side? Thank you frommany followers for your efforts.
From my late father and I, both Navy veterans, I say BRAVO-ZULU to you and your crew.
Thank you for the service of your father and you. Both my parents were Korea-era Navy veterans and my little brother is a former Marine.
Forest hill cemetery in Dunmore Pa is insanely overgrown. If all the incredible RUclips yard transformers came on the same day to clean it up, you would barely see each other and it would love amazing. Even if it didn’t get completely clean. I was trying to help my former neighbor find her father in law but it was crazy. They did eventually they did find him just not the day I was there.
The first time I went to this cemetery we found it by accident. There’s an opening in the back of Dunmore cemetery. Even overgrown it’s beautiful. I wish I could help clean it up but my tools are electric.
You inspire me.
The citizens have to do that. An article should be published in the local newspaper and a date set. A lot of people are guaranteed to turn up. And those who can't work can bring cakes, sandwiches and drinks.
Reach out to @albladez @cabinonthehill @topnotchlawncare and @sbmowing. They do traveling for lawncare. Maybe they would be willing to head to PA for a cleanup collaboration.
If you can handle one I’m sure one of your local hardware stores, or even Lowe’s will rent one of the gas power, or battery power of some type. If I could handle one at my age)😄👵🏻
Nanticoke city cemetery is likely overgrown as well. I'm not in PA but was told the Nanticoke historical society ran out of money for the upkeep
Why don’t you get with the mayor and churches to try to get local volunteers ??
This one was really special. Thank you for helping the lady to honor her ancestors.
Watching that young man on his knees cleaning off that gravesite, brought tears to my eyes 😢. Whay you are teaching your sons is so valuable, bless you🙏🙏💕
Hands in the Air. Applaud these men. They are sentimental Heroes.
🙌🏽 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great job! I always feel like people neglect to thank the kids. Maybe they do off camera. I hope so because most kids today don’t do as much work in a year as these boys do in a day! All of you are amazing!!
You are absolutely right! These are amazing boys brought up well!
This is such a GREAT cemetery recovery! I love visiting cemeteries and have ADMIRATION for anyone who respectfully recover gravesites. GOD BLESS YOU ALL ABUNDANTLY! Heartfelt prayers of gratitude from Arizona. 🙏💕🙏💕
I wonder if that's from pandemic shut down? It looks like fairly new growth and about 3 to 4 years worth.
to the ladies thank you for not letting the people be forgetten, and boys thank you for helping the ladies, no one should ever be forgotten cause to someone they meant the world to
What a great endeavor you took on ,I've seen this done in my Home state ,the problem is who will take care of it after you finished ,I know there are groups that will look after Revolutionary War cemetery ,but locals need to get involved also ,VFWs , Boy scouts ,and other civic groups , letting these grave sights go to pot is a disgrace the locals should have been there working with you
Good Morning! GOD' Bless all of you for helping that Family out. the woods started to take over the Family's cemetery. now the Family can visit the cemetery and remember their loved ones. i Love watching all of your videos. GOD' Bless your whole family and everyone that you help out. Amen :)
You gave this little graveyard alot more respect than what it has been given in the past. Thank you!
🇺🇸
A wheel barrel would have been the perfect helper in this project.
This left me wanting to plant little American flags on all of those graves for Memorial Day! Thank you Blessing Boys and "Brother" for your service to "the least of these" and for teaching Civility, Dignity and Respect to three young men by example! 🙏
Your Family is truly a BLESSING.
I love watching your videos.. wish y'all were down here in Cedartown Georgia bc its a lot of people that would appreciate y'all! Y'all are a Blessing From God... And the young men are getting the job done... Keep up the good work
Contact the Boy Scouts and see if they will help out. If not them, maybe your local veterans office(the office here is at the court house). There may be men with chain saws, weed eaters, power pruners,etc., and don't forget the wheelbarrow!😊😊😊
This was such a great thing to do. For future reference, I think the Find a Grave website has a link on how to care for those old headstones and markers. Because they are old, chemicals and certain tools (like rakes and string trimmers) can cause damage. They also shouldn’t be walked on. I hope that now that they are uncovered, someone will take pictures of the headstones and add them to Find a Grave. Keep up the good work.
Thank you to the owner of the property, the family of those who are at rest there and especially to The Blessing Boys and brother Blessing for showing respect and honor. God continue to bless you!
If there were more people like you, the world would be a much better place. I’m a Marylander but I enjoy watching the blessings that you give. May God keep shining his light on you guys. Stay blessed!
Hello fellow Marylander! Western Marylander here! There is actually a group of people in our small town that do care for cemeteries especially older ones!
Twin brother Justin??? Seriously...3 1/2 hours Justin that was amazing and you unearthed so many graves...well done everyone... cheers from Western Australia
This is a great learning lesson for the boys. Im so happy that you're able to help uncover this cemetery ❤.
Thank you so much Blessing Boys. This One means a lot.
You have a couple good hard working young men there. Not only are you teaching them to give back to the community and help people in need, you are teaching a great work ethic.❤❤❤
Such a kind thing to do. This lady will remember this clean up by you and your brother and sons forever. Sure wish she could have a couple of those dead trees cut down and removed.
Yes, dear, I agree 100%! We really want to purchase this cemetery, too. As a few viewers suggested, I will be contacting the Boy Scouts and VFW to assist us in maintaining these grounds. It's a work in progress! Mr. Justin and his marvelous family were the beginning. Thank you and all viewers for such caring and encouraging words about this project! They help me to, to push a little further!
What a "monumental" job. So much history is covered by time and the elements. Those folks should be remembered. Great job 👏
Find A Grave says that there are about a hundred and seventy people that are buried in this cemetery. That's a decent sized cemetery. It also said that the last person that was buried there was buried there in 2019.
I missed the name of the cemetery
I see how.
This was interesting, glad the Blessings Boys 👦 was able to bless this family!!!🦋
If the family truly had family members buried there they should have been helping.
There are so many neglected /lost cemeteries all across the US. Its heartbreaking...what a beautiful thing... to honor and show respect to those who have gone before.
This is one of the best videos ever. I love seeing an old abandoned cemetery get taken care of.
Thank you! I have an ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War. My 5th great grandfather. I live in the GREAT state of Virginia.
You and your sons truly are a blessing! You helped this family find their loved ones. You should be very proud of your boys! 😊❤
Love how many people are cleaning up these old cemeteries, they deserve the respect as many were veterans and deserved to be remembered. Thank you for doing this for them 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Really nice job guys. In more ways than one. I know the lady was happy. But I bet the spirits of the deceased was even more happy. I could almost hear them saying "Thank You". I would also like to say, "Thank You".
Hello Justin and the boys. Up on the Appalachian Trail, (The Shenandoah National Park) just off one of the trails I hiked a while back, were many little cemeteries. We hiked from Front Royal Virginia , down into NC. The hike was about 15 miles, the portion we hiked. One of the cemeteries was marked by a crab apple tree, and little head stones. They are consumed by thick brush, and unless you went digging around, or knew where they were exactly (off of a map) you would miss them.
I agree with one of the other comments...this is a highly regarded job of respect, and I'm not insinuating that you and your boys don't respect all the properties you work on. I recall when Judah found a "grave" of a one day old baby from like the 1960's and he was kinda in awe of that 😮 Graves are around to honor passed lives of loved ones and I applaud you and your brother and all the boys for helping this family out. I love what you do, and I look forward to watching more of your transformation of other people's properties! 😉 ❤God bless you in all your endeavors 😊❤
You guys are awesome! You should really ask if someone can donate a wood chipper to chop all the trees and brush you cut. It can then be used as mulch as well.
A wood chipper would be ideal on some of your projects. Please consider getting a wood chipper...
@@ejeanroh377 and who will pay this?
I was thinking the same thing.
A lot of channels get donations of tools and materials from local businesses. They might be able to get a tax deduction too.
In the day, this cemetery probably was a field, not the woods that it is today. Thank you for doing what you could. We all will be buried somewhere someday. God bless.
BB my cemetery cleaners. Honey, you have given these poor souls a nice clean resting place. Thank you so much for giving of yourselves to help others in need. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🥤🥤🥤🥤🌞👍🕊🇺🇸❤️🌈🙏😇🌹
Your youngest is adorable. He shows interest in doing a great job!
Here in alabama we discovered a hidden cemetery. The property had grave stones dating back to the late 1700 hundred .
After clearing the brush we found a section of just large rocks basketball size placed in a separate spot.
I was sad to learn that these rocks were markers of slave burials separated from what was a nice cemetery for the European settlers.
Blessing boys is right you are a blessing to everyone thank you for what you do
Thank you for cleaning up this cemetery. I know the souls buried there were looking down upon you guys and smiling in thanks for cleaning up around their graves. God bless you all. ❤
Hi there! I am following you from Athens, Greece and really love your videos. What a delightful family you are...and so hard working! Bravo for the admirable work ethos instilled in the boys, from so young! God bless you all, and thank you!
Great work, great people with a great heart. Frm. Philippined
Good morning blessings boys may the Lord continued blessed you to help other out great job
Hi Blessing Boys, awesome job in that hidden cemetery. Wow..."Mother Nature" growing grass and other stuff...looks so much better. That lady and others can come to visit this grave site. With not so overgrown view. Sad, veterans who were buried there and then forgotten, over time. Thanks you guys...people can come and see the grave site.
Justin, Boys and Brother, Thank You for everything you do for others! The Blessing Boys spreading the blessings everywhere they go.❤ God bless you! 🙏❤️🙏 Have a wonderful weekend!☀️😎
Lord continue to bless this family. Thanks for everything you guys do. I love your videos.👍❤️👍
Great job, good to see the family was so happy to see the area cleaned up so they can go pay their respects to those "gone but not forgotten".
Great work guys!! What an honor to those whom served our country. Where in NC? I would love to come meet yall and help out. I can bring my own saws, trimmer and tools. Speaking of What type of trimmer line do you use??
Thank you for all you do!!!
Look for Justin Knoop in Burlington North Carolina! Look for the giant Blessing trailer!
@@johnacres4666 thanks!!
Great job. It sure my heart feel good when an old cemetery is cleaned up. That’s RESPECT for someone’s final resting place. Thank you for doung this site
What a peaceful place in which to be buried. It is just simply lovely. It is a piece of history and it is amazing to see really old grave markers. Thank you for doing that.
Blessing Boys jste úžasný tým. Je to moc dobře, že jste šetřili i tato místa, kde už jsou tito lidé zapomenuti, ale u Boha nejsou zapomenuti určitě!!! 👍🌿💚👍👋
This was such an amazing one today I love when you can find part of history and reveal it especially with your family. May God bless you guys.
Oh my, this is indeed a blessing...thank you so much for doing this.
Thank you and your team for great discoveries of our important past. I'm a genealogist and have worked many a graveyard. So rewarding and inspirational. The lady was so appreciative which was wonderful. ❤
My all-time favorite job that you’ve done! Bless you! It’s heartbreaking that there are so many forgotten and abandoned cemeteries.
Good Morning There My Good Little Bro Justin Of The Blessing Boys
You're Welcome So Very Much There My Good Little Bro Justin Of The Blessing Boys
Thank You So Very Much There To Everyone Else
What a nice thing to do . . now that she can actually "SEE" who is buried there, she might be able to do some "internet searching" and find out more about her ancestors.
Fantastic job Gents and Boys. Well done. I can't help but feel that there are still more graves tucked away between the trees still to be found, but you have given the community there a fantastic start for them to continue the search step by step.
That was such a beautiful thing you did for this family. You are a perfect example of kindness and love. You and your children will be and are blessed. Thank you.
Very therapeutic to watch. Thank you guys for your services. God will bless you❤.
Awesome job gentleman. Suggestion for another video. You guy's should make another video of that graveyard you just worked on. You could continue searching the surrounding area for more grave stones. I bet there's a lot more out there that you can't see. Probably goona need more major cleaning up. You guy's can deffinetly get the job done.
Awsome job of honoring the lives of the forgotten soldiers from the past !!!
I live in Raleigh but my HOME is in Carteret County. I am also a genealogy buff and I love cemeteries. I just couldn’t rest until I figured out where you are in this video and I was able to find one of the names on the more modern grave markers. This beautiful work you accomplished is just barely over the county line from my home. Thank you, your boys and your brother for recovering this resting place from its takeover by nature.
I live in Raleigh also. Aren’t we fortunate to know these fine folks are from our state.
You've already been teaching your boys the values of hard work & of giving back to the community. Learning respect for others, including those who have passed on, is just as important. All of you do a brilliant job every time but especially so this episode. It was great to see your brother too!
Amazing job to all you guys...God bless all involved in this project ..to the families of loved ones that are buried there,too...love and prayers to all ..🥰🥰
So nice to have your boys and family to help in this endeavor ❤
Great job guys
This was a very worthwhile job.Lots of blessings spread around for sure!
Great job guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so so much for bringing this cemetery back to a hallowed, and respected place it deserves to be ~ you are a true blessing to many! ~
Thank you, guys, for what you did for that lovely lady! I am a Daughter of the American Revolution and my father was a WWII Veteran. It warmed my heart to watch this!!
Great job as usual 😊
What a beautiful cemetery, I hope after these ladies are long gone, the family is aware of it and make sure it gets the respect it deserves ❤
Your boys are growing so fast I have to look twice to tell if.It is you or one of them.
What an absolutely beautiful resting place❤❤❤❤❤. And God knows the name and place of every single person resting in that peaceful place 💗
I Love seeing these forgotten and/or neglected cemeteries getting cleaned up❤❤❤ They are history and even if there is no family, the region needs to know the history these grave stones tell🙏❤️❤️🙏 Thank You for helping this family❤❤
Guy's, every time we up here. In the beautiful Fingerlakes of UpState New York watch your video's. We are moved beyond belief!!! Simply amazing that there are folks like you all. That truly are guided by your hearts & not the foolishness that surrounds us all each day. We applaud you & love ya in a very big way! Should we ever win a lottery. You'll be one [1] of the 1st people that we will talk to, promise ;- ]
What a fantastic job!!! Bless you for doing this. As someone who looks after an old cemetery, I appreciate all the hard work you did. Hopefully someone will come by and photograph every grave and record them on Find A Grave. It is a great resource for genealogists and families looking for lost family members. This is just a fantastic job and so respectful for those interred there.
May God bless each of you for these kindnesses.
Thank you for doing this gravesite for this family and their loved ones. I’m sure it means a lot to them.Have the ladies that pictures to document there out there and have something to share with family.
What a remarkable job. There are so many neglected cemeteries in such disarray. It always makes me happy to see videos of revitalizing them to their former glory.
Always, love your beautiful jobs with your boys and today your brother too 👍🙏❤️👋
Excellent transformation
These types of clean ups are my favorite ones ❤. It looks amazing. Great job to you all ❤❤❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
there should be an american flag flying where the soldiers are buried to honor their service to our country.
So awesome that you are doing this 👏 👍 Thank you ! There are too many neglected cemeteries around, so sad 😞 These people that have passed on deserve better, especially Veterans 🇺🇸
Watching from Newcastle England
Keep up the good work Blessing Boys,it's not an easy job. The physical aches and pains you experience at the end of the day is an indication of your love for your fellow man. What a great example of caring. Thank you for all you do,to help thoughs that can't do it themselves. God bless you all!
YOU DID SUCH A GREAT JOB NOW PEOPLE CAN VISIT THEIR LOVED ONES AGAIN.
Enjoy watching the Boys doing a great job 👍🙏
Blessing you and your amazing sons, I also have 3 sons, by the I'm from Indonesia, God Bless You...
This was wonderful to watch as you cleaned up those stones that had been forgotten. Looks amazing y’all did an awesome job. Thanks for being so kind and helpful. 🥰
