We all met through Ancestry.com.au and are descendants of Joseph Keens and Susannah Shons
Our aim is to locate, identify and mark, as many unmarked graves of our ancestors as we can, before we too kick the bucket and future generations have to start the search all over again.
Specifically this project is to purchase plaques and foundation stones for MaryAnn Hodges nee Keens in Hay Cemetery (1879) and Florence Hodges in Gunbar Cemetery.
These will be placed in position in July 2015 on our next cousin get together in Hay NSW
How The Funds Will Be Used
Specifically this project is to purchase plaques and foundation stones for MaryAnn Hodges nee Keens in Hay Cemetery (1879) and Florence Hodges in Gunbar Cemetery.
These will be placed in position in July 2015 on our next cousin get together in Hay NSW
One cousin, Ken Rebetzke, has sourced and been quoted approx. $150 per plaque, with sufficient engraving to ensure future generations know EXACTLY who these graves are and where they fit in our family
The Challenges
dust, dirt, distance and flies lol
sheer determination and your money will get us through.
