Genealogy Bucket-List Locations, Part 2

Any one person has the potential to have 2,048 11th Great-Grandparents. Who can actually say that they know where their 11th great-grandparents are buried? I can...and this location, is definitely on my list of places to see! 


Thomas Mildenhall (1630-1682) & Joane Strode (1634-1682) are my 11th Great-Grandparents. I don't know the circumstances of their death(s) but I do know that they died the same year in 1682. I also know that they are buried in the Holy Cross Churchyard in Ramsbury, England. 



Holy Cross Churchyard


The Holy Cross Churchyard is located in Ramsbury, Wiltshire, England. The coordinates are: 51.44250, -1.60722. 

According to Findagrave.com, there are 2,185 memorials, including one famous memorial of a Francis Burdett V (1770-1844). It's only 9% photographed with 51 open photo requests, makes me wonder if photography of any sort is allowed?

My ancestors are buried here--- someday I'll get to see what their gravestones look like.

Enjoy the photos that I found on Google.com

How Many Grandparents Do You Have?

A couple of days ago, I decided to figure out how many ancestors I have sucessfully identified- grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. As you know, we all have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents and it continues to double with each generation. Here's a great visual representation:
I wanted to see how many of those I actually had and at what percentage was completed- giving me a good idea of what I could work on next. This is how it turned out: (Categories from left to right are: Relation, Name, Birth, Death, Age @ Death, Immigrant) Parents- 2/2= 100% Grandparents- 2/2= 100%
