TBT Summer and Falling!

Can you believe??? AND THIS WAS FIVE YEARS AGO! I'm into TBT mode!

This is the very beginning of September, I really can't believe it!

Where did the summer...year go?

Where we live we will feel the days of summer linger slowly into to crisp fall days...
I mean really slow.

For now, I'm still enjoying Summer in September!

Have a happy day and weekend!

Wait...a quick question. 

Are you all fall decorating? 

Like they say "FALLING!"

Church - June 10, 1639

Good afternoon friends! 

Okay, this is so exciting! 

So I decided I'd just share this with you on this beautiful Sunday. 

This amazing old church in London has some of my family history that dates back to

June 10, 1639~

Seriously, my heart can't believe it! 

I'm so blessed with this knowledge. 

Below each photo...

no words. 

The beauty speaks for itself. 

 

St. Dunstans

St Dunstans is an Anglican Church which stands on a site which has been used for Christian worship for over a thousand years. 

It is located in Stepney High Street, in Stepney, London

 Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Interesting to me...

 is this! 

London Church Registers recorded the marriage of our ancestors, 

 Thomas Nye and Katherine Hunter 

on June 10th 1639

 at St. Dunstans, Stepney.

My maiden name is NYE

We were in London in 2005 and at that time, if I had done this research, we could have attended services there! We attended services at Westminster Abby, what an experience! We also went  to St. Pauls Cathedral and St. Martin in the Fields Church.

The Church continues to be open to visitors and worshipers from all over the world. 

There is an active congregation who help to continue the life of the church community.

I love genealogy~

Have a great and blessed Sunday and week!
