what is the significance of Somme, Picardie, France? Several of my ancestors died there, separated by huge distances of time. And they would have lived in Scotland or England.   If they had all died at once I could see a battle or something..and later of course there was (same place??)...but did people go there to die perhaps? To get a miracle like at Lourdes? Was there a health spa? Did they get special indulgences? I think it is women as well as men so not sure it would be anything like the Hospitalatierres??
