Welcome to Roots Chat, possette !
I don't want to discourage you, but you shouldn't assume that your ancestors will have gravestones, so be prepared for possible disappointment. My ancestors on my mother's side all came from the same small area in Suffolk, so when I first started researching my tree, I thought a quick trip around the church yards in the locality would tell me all I needed to know. In a whole day's searching, I came up with one gravestone bearing my grandmother's maiden name, and that was a cousin of hers. The sad truth is that many of our ancestors were too poor to have gravestones.
I wish you luck with your search, and I hope you fare better than I did
