I too enjoy looking at names on headstones, but I also love picking my aunt's brain for names of my ancestors. I think one of my favorites (which I'm using in a current WIP) is Benin. <br />Great post!

Setting was my own home "village" and it was in post CIVIL WAR days - I learned SO MUCH about our community and have come to love it as a result . . .have much more respect for the founding fathers. . . wish it still had the same flavor. ':)<br />The research I have to do for my Contemporary WF is totally different and I shudder at some of the things I learn. HR will probably ALWAYS be my favorite genre and your work is a good example of it, Carla!journeystojoy.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061978800433274943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-24440653061349426802014-08-06T11:01:53.028-04:002014-08-06T11:01:53.028-04:00Wonderful post!
