I’d love to know but because of the ‘hillbilly thing’ it dead ends around the late 1700s.
The “tombstones” of many my ancestors in overgrown mountain cemeteries are just flat rocks with the scratched-on names long gone.
As a kid, we took my gramma back to the Catholic Church cemetery and she put flowers on rocks and I had no idea who she was “remembering”.
[probably my kin who had not “gone Protestant’ and dropped the “Mc” from the surname]
In the WV coal mine cemetery visits, it was even worse.
No stones at all.
She just knew which patch of ground in the middle of a field she was to lay flowers on.
They were the Welsh side.
I should have put a (/SARC) label with my original post.
I find geneology interesting.
But if I found out I had a demonstrable linkage to Ms. Parker-Bowles...
I probably should keep suicide-capable instruments out of reach until
I can to terms with the news!!!
(Yes, I’m laughing...sort of in this specific case!)
