My husband and I did that a lot when I was researching my family background. You see the names and dates and the bits of inscription and can't help but wonder about the person's life and the history they lived.

I used to carry her on my shoulders. Anyway, thanks for coming over to Bachelor at Wellington. I have recently married so I'm no more the bachelor but still use the handle, so to speak. What an interesting bit of history you have ran into on your way to pick up that suit at a bargain price. Thanks for your post on history. Happiest of Holidays to you and yours.

I've had a lot of fun chasing down the histories of the people under some of the gravestones I've photographed through the years. Unfortunately the record isn't particularly generous for some of the earliest settlers here from the 1600s.<br /><br />Good work, Alan!Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-68905842482460674522009-12-17T15:54:50.012+00:002009-12-17T15:54:50.012+00:00This is amazing because it is so true.

And this was before the internet.
