I will echo what Evelyn has said about gravestones/headstones and all other details but it is not so simple. There are two distinct cemeteries within the Treorchy complex. The 'new' cemetery is the 'lawn' type. Most of those burials will have some form of identification. In the 'old' cemetry there are large gravestones, many of which have collapsed in to the ground, or are now laying quite flat, or there are 'flat' graves with just an urn with a name. With the large headstones it took me much time to find just one stone and I had a head start since my mum knew the approximate location. But there are hundreds of these in each plot and on quite steep slopes - the cemetry is built on the mountain-side. My family have all these types plus one great-great grand-mother (IIRC) who did not wish for any headstone at all - her grand-daughter, as my mum relates spent many hours trying to locate the burial to no avail. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Katie Thomas" <katiet223@yahoo.com> To: <glamorgan@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 27, 2011 10:13 PM Subject: [GLA] Request >I am seeking a local person to help me by taking a few gravestone photos at >the Treorchy Cemetery.
