My family has taken an international turn in the last couple of generations with marriages between the UK, Canada, Asia and the Middle East. While I love this diversity in the family, it makes it slightly harder to keep track of the ancestral tree. Before too much information is lost in time and across the miles, I'm trying my best to establish and maintain a record so that my own children will know their roots.
I trace the British side of my family back to Bradninch in Devon and Wales and unfortunately have zero photos of my relatives beyond my paternal grandmother so finding their gravestones is the next best thing for me and brings their memory alive in my mind.
