Well, dang . . . I gotta go back!
I can see how easy it was to miss what I missed when GN and I were traipsing all over a coupla cemeteries. I was there and despite the relatively small size of the area, there were still plenty of headstones! But I’ve been letting my fingers do the e-traipsing today and I found what I couldn’t find on our day trip.
Goodness gracious! The whole family (from one side of one side, anyway) is there!
I do solemnly swear not to give GN a hard time if they are in the section where I asked her to hunt. I’m not upset at all. I’m thrilled that my original hunch was right. We just need to hone our headstone hunting skills, I guess.
Looks like the little baby is going to get flowers sooner than I expected! Now I have to count how many flowers I need to take!
I love e-traipsing! Besides, with today’s search, I found two regions of origin that I didn’t have before . . . and the misspelling of my great-grandmother’s maiden name that’s been passed down. With the correct spelling, I was able to go back two more generations on her side.
Nuf for today.
Ah … you have been called back for another visit.
Can you place a single flower on my behalf for that little baby?
Watching with interest.
Dancing: Such a sweet request. I would be glad to place a flower on your behalf! Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
Oh spelling! That trips me up all the time the further I go back. We’ve got one surname that I’ve seen spelled at least 4 different ways. Takes a lot of extra research to narrow down who is who and whether they actually belong to me…or I guess whether I belong to them.
