A to Z April Challenge: Q is for Q 97 - Bridget (Hynes) Wynne

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 place. To help ensure they're not forgotten again, I'm creating a virtual graveyard, incorporating a memorial for each one. Q is for Q 97, grave coordinates for Bridget (Hynes) Wynne, my maternal great-great-grandmother.

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.

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.

  1. Clever you to think of a coordinate to get around that tricky letter Q! Inexpressible grief is a great description of his sorrow.
