As with everything one does their best, errors will be made where stones are eroded, where SOME people actually find a g/stone for one of theirs they send a "Thank You" and either fill in "missing" pieces or corrections and IGP can then correct/modify the text file ... they still serve their purpose! One such Thank You just received... "I am thrilled ... you posted a photo of my great-great-grandparents' gravestone (although the inscription was so faint, you mistakenly identified the name as "**") I thank you ... my sisters thank you ... my cousins thank you ... LOL! Seriously, we are all very grateful. In case you are wondering, this is what we've been told it really says: ---" They now have a photo which is the main purpose. We are all prone to making Miss Takes. DH On 24/06/2015 00:56, Eilish wrote: > Yes, this is what I thought.
