Well, how fun is that?? OK, I get the flag, but, what is that right beside the flag? Cannot read it, curiosity, don't cha know!
Thanks for posting our 9th great-grandparents' gravestone photos, Barbara. I've never been there. ...yet!
T.K. Oh goodie, you too. I just saw that Becky Wiseman is also related! Re: Carol's quest. I told her I couldn't read it.
OK, I'm not descended of John Strong, but I know he's an ancestor of Lady Di, and I'm related to her through a Cogswell line, so does that make us cousins again?? Maybe in a very convoluted way?? I am related to the Strongs through some Blisses and Bishops.
You had me with the Princess Diana link ;-)
Oh yes, the Princess title will do it every time!
I am also a desendant of the Elder John Strong, on the Jedediah of Coventry line. I have lots of ancestry data as well. fascinating line for sure.

John, thank you for your comment. It is nice to know we are related, and I'm glad you found my blog with the photo.
