Thanks Kelly, It is very nice of you to do this. I just found yesterday some more of my ancestors imformation Thomas Barnett b abt 1730 and son Thomas b in 1750's in NC and York Co SC. then son William b 1770 and on FWD. Now to try to find all their siblings. Still have to connect to the immigrant to pa as we are said to have come form Ireland. Will maybe get more hlp here. Yes He is in someone's life and family and should be remembered. Many people are being cremated of today. Cem plots have gone sky high, caskets etc have also gone out of sight. And most states , if you don't have these prepaid and didn't leave money for them will cremate you anyway. They won't pay for those items as they used to do even though on a cheap lowest cost also as they say a pine box funeral. They won't even help you with medicine and you have to go without. I have a whole purse full of prescriptions of the last several yrs that I couldn't buy and had to go without and am still going without medicine today as well as my spouce who needs his to function proprerly. Whennthey give you a raise in SS, they have delted something and or uped the cost of the medicare, then all the other utilties etc know you get it so up costs as well and you end up with less than you had the yr before as we have. we lost abt 75.00 in Jan due to this. got abt 2.oo left of raise in check. I told my spouce that if I find out I'm going to die soon I am going to goto the woods and disapear, then I won't have been a burdon to anyone with a funeral etc .
