Genealogists always want to know where their ancestors are buried. It’s not just to see what else they might learn from their gravesites. It’s more than that. It’s a need to connect with them, to know they’re ‘at peace’. Many countless hours are spent seeking out their final resting places, so, to help ensure they're not forgotten again, I'm creating a virtual graveyard, incorporating a memorial for each ancestor. I is for I cannot say. 💜My intention is to create a virtual graveyard with a memorial for each of my ancestors. The category 'Theme: Virtual Graveyard', seen on the right, is the graveyard gate. Clicking here, you enter my graveyard. You can visit each grave, irrespective of where in the world they are physically located.

Agreed!
DeleteAh yes - middle names. My father's is Rex. My husband's is Dexter. I'd love to know where they came from !
ReplyDeleteand why
DeleteMy grandfather hated his middle name of Pinkney but it was his grandfathers middle name. I wish I had known it as a child and asked him if he knew more on it as it must have been a maiden name at dome point but I haven’t found the connection yet
ReplyDeleteYes, there were often clues left in middle names, but unfortunately for me, middle names were uncommon for Catholics in Ireland, until the close of the 19th century.
DeleteLOL! That's a bit cheecky on you! ;-)
