Your great-grandfather probably thought that what he was doing wasn't very important, but as you realize, almost every detail of his life is cherished by his descendants. I just did some really deep diving in my family line and learned that I have an ancestor who was Lord of Caerleon Castle in Wales in the 12th century! I never knew I had Welsh blood in me, but a whole line is Welsh. I would love to visit Caerleon now so I can feel my history even more closely. Most of my line is British from the early 17th century and back (from all over - Newcastle to the Midlands to Devonshire to London and the East Coast. I need to get back to England and explore the rest of the country. <br /><br />Thanks for your post - I love reading these things.Saltygunnernoreply@blogger.com
