@Meaningness yes. that's where i swiped the photo from! (*^_^*)
@Meaningness once we we toured norway, my husband and i "met" one of his ancestors who was a lutheran minister in the north in the 1600s...
@Meaningness ...he had been buried in the crypt below the church, and was naturally mummified down there thanks to it being cool & dry...
@Meaningness ...when the minister at the time heard who my husband was, he took us down to see him (the coffin lid was broken)...
@Meaningness ...and THERE was the good reverend! in his priest's outfit, desiccated skin, loooong hair, and loooon fingernails!
@hbdchick Yow!! Seems like it would be quite different when it is someone you are related to.
@Meaningness not many people acutally get to MEET one of their ancestors. =P (we've got photos, but oldskool, paper photos.)
@hbdchick Yes; not many Americans even ever see most forms of human remains. European attitudes are strikingly different.
