Heir raising moment -spooky or what ?!?

Oh wow Treetotal that has given me major goosebumps and teary eyes!!!

I was the same when I was writing that...I do have a photo of the dog with the story of that morning in the file for my Father's Family.
I'm a sceptic on all things psychic but that incident has left me a little more open minded.

By coincidence take a look at the name of the poster of the photo I have just repaired and look at my research interest for St. John's Nfld:

Not exactly a spooky tale but I've just found a very unexpected baptism for my 3 x g.grandfather in my old school church and had no idea they were from that area as it's a whole new branch opened up for me.  I wonder if I'd have shown a little more interest in the school service if I'd known that.  Probably not lol.

You sound a bit like me, Bee. I was bundled off to Sunday school for a few years as a young boy. I think I learned more from watching The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur with my father. I'm pretty sure Sunday school was my mother's idea.

Hi rarebit,

It's never a good time to lose a loved one at Christmas, I lost Grandparents at this time. But gosh, all those children born around the same time 

It has to be a happy time now ~ to celebrate, I suppose, the new generation and remembering those you lost with fond memories

May not be a coincidence but it is still a hair raising moment. It is estimated that there are about 15 dead people for every person living. That I can believe, the dead outnumber the living many times over. So that is a lot of people to research for our hobby of genealogy, family history.
