Here is your assignment, if you choose to play along (cue the Mission: Impossible! music, please!):
(1) Create your own tombstone at http://www.tombstonebuilder.com/. And/or create one for a relative who doesn't have one, or one for an event or significant issue.
(2) Share your creation with the genea-sphere in your own blog post, or on Facebook or Instagram. Be sure to drop a link in a comment to this post.
Here's mine:
I couldn't figure out how long I want to live, so I left it up in the air.
I also created a tombstone for Moses Mulliner, one of my Revolutionary War ancestors. His brother was a Loyalist who was hung for treason, yet he has a tombstone that is regularly replaced. Moses has no surviving tombstone, even though he was a Patriot. So I figure Moses deserves one.
I like your tombstone and you thought along the same lines I did in terms of a Rev. War ancestor. However, I went with one of my Loyalists.
ReplyDeleteWell, since my Loyalist relative has a tombstone, I figured he didn't need a second.
DeleteWhere's your blog post? I looked and didn't find it on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.
I like your tombstone. I didn't do one. So afraid someone would think it real and use it!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, I hadn't even thought of that! Now we'll have to check to see if any of these tombstones show up on Find a Grave!
