As Im in Australia and most of my ancestors are/were from the United Kingdom, I don't get to do much grave hunting or visiting cemeteries in search of that missing link.
I do however have 2 close family members buried within an hour of where I have recently moved. I did live closer but I would still say I live nearby.
My father Michael Robinson who I wrote about in Week 9 and my maternal grandma Margaret (Maud Alice) Brittle née Manning are both burried at Pinegrove Memorial Park in Western Sydney, NSW. My dad died in 1990 and my grandma - my brother and I called her Nannan - died in 1986.
Pinegrove is such a peaceful place to visit. Dad was cremated and his ashes buried near a fish pond which always has ducks and other birds flying by. I visited them both recently as I was in between appointments in the area and it was a beautiful winters day.
