Mine would be "Mice in Plicity" because as a child I went to Sunday School twice every Sunday ,morning and afternoon . When we said our prayers we always said  -or so I thought-"pity mice in Plicity". It was only when I asked what was the matter with all the mice in a place called Plicity that I had it explained to me that what I ought to say was "pity my simplicity"-- I didn`t think that was very nice as I didn`t think I was simple ! ! ! But living on the Welsh border in rural Shropshire, Chapel played a big part in our lives and my time  there when I was an evacuee to my grandmother`s family was so happy I always think back to it and it was a wonderful time for me.

I like that one Viktoria Grin

Quotes seem to be a great idea for titles, perhaps this idea should also be used in writing up our family histories and not just reserved for autobiographies. Wink

Busy with my family book now.  Several times removed great grandfather is a ghost "Dunty" (one who knocks) - so my title is "DUNTY'S LEGACY".
