Two days ago I found my great-great-grandfather's grave.
He was born in 1836 and died in 1899, it's still the original headstone erected when he died 121 years ago.
There are 7 in the plot altogether:
- Great-great-grandfather + wife
- Great-grandfather + wife
- Three of my grandfather's siblings (one sister and two brothers)
It was my father's cousin's son who showed me to the grave, and he told me that the family have always dug their own family member's graves. This guy was there in the late 80's when the seventh coffin went down (and he described it in amazing detail -- including finding my g-g-gfather's skeleton). He took my email address and I told him to email me next time they dig a grave (even if it's 15 years from now).
