A2: I love visiting cemeteries. Pere Lachais in Paris is a fave!
I visited my 2nd & 3rd great grandparents graves in Mount Gambier while driving across Australia and on a later trip to South Australia, visited some other 3x great grandparents #TTOT

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii I've always known what cities the majority of my ancestors called home, but don't know the details of where in the city itself. That's OK because hopefully it means I can do more research and return later. #TTOT

A2. I actually love visiting cemeteries when I travel - not to find relatives, but just to learn about the history of a place and its people. I loved Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires, #Argentina. #TTOT

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove it's a good excuse to make a return visit! #ttot

A1 Yes, it was a huge thrill to find such detail about my great grandmother. I had wondered all my life before that. I still would like to know more but they all immigrated from London to Chicago and information is lost #TTOT https://t.co/6QpxCLOqI7

A2 Cemeteries are fascinating in how they differ from culture to culture. I'm so glad you had this wonderful experience in #Romania. These things show a lot about attitudes towards death in different places. #TTOT https://t.co/SDtU4EIHuw

A2 I took my father of Norwegian descent to Norway. We didn’t even have correct names nor places but it was fun to look for our name in cemeteries – different spellings. Anyway “Holverson” is the “Son of Holver” (1st name) so the next generation had different names #TTOT @pixabay

@SonjaSwissLife there could still be information, probably Ellis Island immigration documents, which can be found online

@SonjaSwissLife @wheresshellyii A2 #TTOT Central Europe is fantastic for exploring cemeteries, especially some particularly old ones.
In Vienna, the central cemetery has a cluster of the graves of famous composers, such as Beethoven, Brahms, Salieri and Strauss.

A1 This is a great suggestion. In my family there were so many marriages and name changes at Ellis Island that only the next generation in the US knew anything and they are all deceased now. #TTOT https://t.co/hjVqLJJUFY

A1: On a trip to Tasmania 2 years ago I was driving down a highway and saw a sign for Woolmer Estate, I recognised it as being a place my convict 4x GGF worked at when he was transported to Australia, so I went and had a look, it was a beautiful location #TTOT

Q3 via @wheresshellyii If you have verified information of your ancestral heritage, have you traveled or wanted to travel to their places of origin? How do you decide which place you would visit first if paternal & maternal origins differ? Tell us which places. #TTOT
StevenOnTheMove
A2: I absolutely enjoy exploring cemeteries on my travels. I've yet to visit one to find an ancestor's grave, but loved exploring Cave Hill in @gotolouisville and Spring Grove in @CincinnatiUSA. Both are beautifully landscaped in addition to having notable graves. #TTOT

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @theRTWguys A1 I haven't travelled to discover a place but have travelled to show my children the places where their granny and her family lived. I visited often as a child and she told me about her granny~and grandfathers and so much about the hard lives they lived #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @wheresshellyii A3-I am actually more inclined towards my maternal ancestral because I have enough information about them. I got a few numbers from #Mexico, who are my distant cousins, I'll definitely catch up with them in near future. #TTOT

replying to @travchats @travchats @theRTWguys I love hearing stories from older generations! #ttot

A3: All my branches come from different British counties or countries in Europe and while it's great to have diversity, it's a pain to want to travel to 100 different places, lol.
I consider all branches equal but am more attached to the ones in the past 5 generations #TTOT

A3: My family has been very interested in genealogy for a long time. So I have solid knowledge of where the majority of my ancestors lived before emigrating to the United States. I've been to a maternal spot in Germany and paternal spot in Sweden. #TTOT
StevenOnTheMove
replying to @StevenOnTheMove As a family we visited my dad's paternal hometown in Sweden, and on my own as an adult I visited my mom's paternal hometown in Germany. Choosing where to go is really about having the information and ability. #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @wheresshellyii A3 - Do you know in India since ancient times we have family records kept with family Pandits, typically at places where last rites are done, like Haridwar, Varanasi. Unfortunately, we are losing that brilliant record keeping system #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @wheresshellyii A3. My family on my maternal side recently discovered relatives in #Norway so I would love to go there and discover more about it. I don't know much about my paternal side, other than from the UK, so I'd have to do more research. #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife A2. Agreed. Death is a universal experience but the ways to express grief for the loss is different based on norms and religious preferences. #TTOT
