Interesting Work!

This afternoon when I was indexing on the FamilySearch site I was doing records from England in the 1690's. Mostly they were baptisms, burial, and marriage records.
I came across an entry that said "Mary Queen of Great Britt" died of smallpox in 1694. As I read the whole thing it had listed her birthday, the day she was crowned and the man she married.
I thought that this was pretty neat, so I check it out with Wikipedia and the information matched. These records were all handwritten church records from 1694. It was neat to find the original records with this information. She died December 28 1694 and further down the record it was written that she (the Queen was buried March of 1695)
Just thought that I would share. I thought it was cool!

Love to all!!!
