In Lucknow, as in other parts of the world, graves mean little to some people, but a search on the internet proves otherwise! What one will find on this blog isn't even 'a drop in the vast ocean' of tears that would have been shed if it were possible to calculate. The names, the sad poetry, quotes and expression of grief of the loved ones all being ground to dust. "...We always say that the history of a parish is in its graveyards..."

If Leonora Roscher (nee Joseph) was born in Calcutta, India we are probably related. However, my records show her husband as John Theodore F. Roscher and there were at least two children (possibly four)?
