Week 9 - Cemeteries - 52 Weeks of Abundant Genealogy
Week 9 – Cemeteries: Genealogists understand the full value of cemeteries and appreciate them in ways most others can’t see. Share a cemetery or cemetery experience for which you are most thankful. What makes this place special? What does it mean to you and your family history? Tingalpa Cemetery 2009 Now this was a difficult challenge this week because there are so many cemeteries that I like and have found over the years. Tingalpa Christ Church (Anglican) Cemetery though will always hold a special spot in our heart because it was the location of my first real break-through in family history at a young age. Thanks to my family history society's Cemetery Room index, I found that my husband's great-grandfather and his wife and their children were buried here. I remember traipsing all over the cemetery looking for their grave, only to discover that it was the biggest monument in the whole cemetery just about!! The cemetery looks absolutely beautiful these days...
