Genealogy: Thoughts
I've just wandered down the rabbit hole warren of James and Alice Bolland (my g-g-g-grandparents) and the baptisms they had for their 11 (!) kids.
On the one hand, it makes them easier to find. On the other, you come across the records for the birth, baptism, death at 11 months, and Christmas Day burial of their daughter Elizabeth (January - December 1879).
It's just rather sad and weird to think of. At least they're all together again now (barring any reincarnation).
Did you know on the Find-a-Grave site you can leaves virtual flowers on the graves? Well, now you know. :o)
