| Nancy Phillips Hankins Obituary |
Until I found my 2nd great grandmother's obituary, I did not
have any clue as to her birth date or her death date or what her character was.
Today, I revisited my ancestor's birth dates on FamilySearch while filling out
the questions to ask your grandmother sheet for my grandchildren. I identified
that two of my daughters were born on my dad's two sisters birth dates. I was
curious as to who else might have been born on another relative's birth
date. Several were really close like my
4th daughter was 2 days away from my dad. My oldest son was 4 days away from
mine and 3 from my mom's sister. My youngest son was born on my Mom's birthday.
One of my children was born in December. I have not found an ancestor born in
December, marriages, just no births. I do have to say that there are many we
don't have full birth dates on.
Back to my reason for this story... My birthday is the same
as Nancy's. I hope my longevity is as great as hers and more, but mostly I hope
there will be nice things said about me like they said about her. A life goals.
This was a Mother's Day endeavor to practice what I preach and write down my personal information for my grandchildren.How about you. Have you written down things for your family. Maybe you don't have children, but you have memories you can share about family that nieces and nephews, cousins would love to know.
FamilySearch Blog has some ideas to help.
