Chapel of St Michael d'Aiguilhe, Le Puy

The stunning chapel St Michael d'Aiguilhe, Le Puy was build in 962 by Bishop Godescalc and deacon Trianus, and was later expanded in the 12the century. Prior to 962, this mountain was utilized by the Romans who worshipped Mercury, and before the Romans, it is believed that earlier cultures worshiped here.

Date & Place: January 1854 at Le Puy-en-Velay in Auvergne France

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
