New game - Take One Great-Grandparent
Our new research game, starting this weekend.
The idea is that each week everyone who wants to take part focusses on one great-grandparent - with a weekly poll to decide which one, first poll being on this very thread. The g-gs that have already had their go will be left out of subsequent polls. This is how it's going to work, when we have the poll results to see which great-grandparent we're starting with. Can you fill in all of the information: Name - "official" name and what they were known as Date and place of birth Names of parents Date and place of baptism - if applicable Details of each of his or her marriages - if any Occupation(s) - if any Military service - if any Addresses where they lived Date, place and cause of death Date and place of burial / cremation. Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable Memorial inscription - if any Adoptive or step-great-grandparents welcome! If your great-grandparent is still alive then sit that week out or use your partner's great-grandparent instead. The idea is to see what blanks need filling in, and get help with filling them. If you're lucky enough to have all the information already, then you can still post it up if you want, so that search engines can pick it up. |
