Hi Wend hope you are well :-D

im back

there is not really any good photos on the internet of the church
it was only when i was looking at the censure for my nan
that i see holy trinity church and on trying to think were the church was
that i remembered passing an old church as a kid

but then when looking it up i could see it was pulled down before i was even born
i can not remember any family members talking about it

maybe some of you are right maybe family members was talking about it
and may be it stuck in my mind

just seems strange

False memories are quite common as can be seen in this article:

Lynda - I fully agree with you. I have always said that when people talk about "regression" (where a person is supposed to go back to a time when they were another person in an earlier period) that it is probably just that they have inherited memories. As you say, if we can inherit looks, eye and hair colour etc. then why not memories. It makes much more sense to me than if we had lived before.

I read an article at the weekend, where it said you can pass memories down.

It sounds very logical to me that you can, we pass on our looks, why not memories?

I've often been somewhere, seen something that I know I haven't seen before, yet know it.

Fair points raised by Det. Have you googled it to see if there is a photo of it online? Our minds can play funny tricks at time.

Perhaps you *have* seen a picture or photo of it when you were young(er)?

Might a relative have been been married there, or your parents/older relatives pointed out a photo and told you of some family connection to it?
