My Cousin Greg Towner posted this photo on his facebook page. Thanks Greg!
Chatting with an Australian friend this morning, I mentioned this memorial and she asked if I could post it on my blog. It strikes me as humorous that I am a go-between two Australians, here literally on the other side of the world. Greg has written and published some excellent accounts of our family and history of Australia.
At this point I have been trying to mention the kinship of Greg and Me. After several stabs at it I decided that we are second cousins. Close enough…these family relationships get complicated, and no one really cares about it anyway. 🙂 I have a family tree someplace.
Thank you! Reading that memorial was quite moving, esp as it was done in 1944. -hugs-

Second cousin is good enough for me. I get lost in family relationships.

Glad to be back. My great-grandkids all have complicated extended families. Some people say “first cousin once removed” instead of “second cousin.” I have some first cousins that were never around growing up, we all met when in the 60s-70s. It’s fun to see resemblances and other family likenesses.
