Being a genealogy buff old churches fascinate me. I go to them and write down those who are buried there and register them online. Old stones deteriorate and get vandalized so if they are recorded they will not be forgotten. We have some old churches here in my area too. Well how wonderful is it that your aunt reached 100 years.She surely saw so many changes around her through the years.
Wonderful to see these old churches. Many years ago, my brother and I found many ancestors' burial places but failed to take pictures of the churches. Maybe this spring we can get back and do that.
What precious old memories. I'm like Hocking Hills Gardener in that I have done genealogy for years and have spent many an hour wandering around old cemeteries and churchyards. Glad you have the pictures.
G'morn, Patsy ~ Oh, how I love the genealogies of families ... & the old pictures. Your churches are beautiful.
I have pictures out the ying-yang of graves & family places that I cherish. It is so fulfilling to gain all the knowledge to share with the kid-lings.
Have a beautiful day ~
