My intention is to create a virtual graveyard with a memorial for each ancestors. The category 'Theme: Virtual Graveyard', seen on the right, is the graveyard gate. Clicking here, you enter my graveyard. You can then visit each grave, irrespective of where in the world they are physically located.
Links for my direct ancestors above are, or will be, to their memorial in the 'virtual graveyard' at Black Raven Genealogy. Links for members of their immediate family are to a memorial at Find A Grave, if one has been created. Find A Grave is an online collection of gravesites and memorials from around the world.
The 'A to Z April Challenge' - 26 blog posts, in 26 days, with 26 letters of the alphabet, and one post dedicated to each letter.
That looks like a nice, peaceful graveyard.

Yes, and often windy and cold like many graveyards are, even in summer.
DeleteA lovely graveyard. Those stones are unique.
ReplyDeleteYes, and I love how they left the marigolds self-seed and grow everywhere.
DeleteDara - you are one clever woman. What a brilliant idea. I have set up a page on my blog that just has cemeteries listed in a kind of geographical order so that if I'm travelling I can check who's buried where. But I really really like your idea. You've reminded me how many records potentially exist for someone's burial and that I should leave no record unturned as it were. I may have to "steal" your idea and build my own virtual graveyard. It's a splendid idea. Thank you for sharing it with us :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex, I’ll have to prepare an index, listing for each graveyard, the plot coordinates of each grave, to make it easy to visit each one, whenever we find ourselves at that graveyard.
DeleteI can see that I'm going to learn lots about Irish cemeteries from your posts, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI hope you learn something useful, Jill.
