Had a look at your photos, and that numbering system is so sad. Terrible to be buried with nobody knowing who you are, and your people not knowing where you are... Thanks Jennifer!

It's great to see ephemera that those of us living on the wrong side of the pond cannot readily access. ( I currently live in Canada). On a trip to the eastern side of this country, specifically Halifax Nova Scotia, I had the opportunity to visit and photograph the graves of 121 who perished with the Titanic. There were 150 people interred in Halifax, Scotia; of the 121 in Fairview Cemetery, 44 remain unidentified. If anyone is interested in seeing photographs of some of the graves, I have them on my cemetery blog at http://stiffsandstones.blogspot.com/2011/04/wordless-wednesday-almost-interred.html Cheers, Jennifer Thank you Áine and NLI for another very interesting and informative post.
