Hi Bob, Thanks bunches for the links but the first two were no help at all as in regards to burial markers. This last one gives generalizations on the symbols so I forwarded it along and hopefully it will be a little help. It was all greek to me and maybe I am just too sleepy because it did not make a lot of sense.
