How will people remember you?

A relative of ours was (probably still is) concerned about that they will be forgotten once gone...my father mentioned to him that we are all about 2 generations away from being forgotten. Your children will remember you as will most likely your grandkids. Great grandkids probably won't...or at least will barely know you....following them it is all just written history of you. With the emerging computer era less and less written history is being kept within families and a lot of videos are not kept yet because of a lack of permanent storage memory.

There is a lot historically that will be known about this era but there will be a decided lack of info on a more personal level.

And the trinkets that you pass down will eventually be sold for about 1/5 of their value to help someone that never knew you put a down-payment on a new car, support an addiction, or pay alimony. But it won't matter to you because you'll be dead.

My ego does not require the existence of a legacy. I'm quite confident that I won't be remembered.

[Irving]

Even with you guys still around, I remember most of you by whatever is your current avatar.

I think most people will be relieved when I'm gone..

[Duman]

Well, personally I don't care what they say or think now, let alone after I've shuffled off this mortal coil.

After I'm gone, let them surprise me.

I must say that I've known several of my great grandparents and have some memory of them. Lots of family documentation and photos that go many generations back.

When I am gone, the world will tumble into madness.

who was the biggest celebrity in 1563 and what did they do for a living? What did they look like?

One was Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland. He was Captain-general of the cavalry at the siege of St Quentin under Mary I of England. Under Elizabeth I he served successfully and she made him Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire and Rutland, Knight of the Garter and President of the North. Not long before his premature death he completed the building of Belvoir Castle.

His tomb, in the centre of the chancel next to that of his father, is of alabaster and considered unique. The effigies lie beneath a decorated example of an Elizabethan dining table on heavy carved legs, suggesting an attempt to represent a communion table. Earl Henry is depicted in armour of conventional pattern except that the breast plate is made up of laminated plates. He wears a coronet and his head is supported on a tilt-heaume. He is wearing a chain nearly reaching his thighs, and the Order of the Garter is on the left leg. He holds a closed book in his right hand and a sword in his left. At his feet is a hornless unicorn. His wife, Margaret, also wears a coronet and is dressed in the style of the time, with an ermine-trimmed mantle. Her head rests on a scroll and her feet on a lion.
