Subj: Sites of Whetsstone Gravestones Wanted Date: 6/25/00 4:01:34 PM US Mountain Standard Time Unless I have really missed something I have not seen this posted to lists. LIST OWNER THIS IS OFF TOPIC BUT VERY IMPORTANT FOR RESEARCH AS DEALS WITH OUR ANCESTORS AND THE WHY AND WHERE TO FIND WHERE THIS STONE WENT. Delete if you don't want this posted. I have included the original posts from the INPCRP list and am sending this out to lists that I belong to and/or for special mailings I make. The following URL/ link goes to the clickable site mentioned in the post below. I do hope that this survey can be helped. Print this out and save it so that when you do see such a stone you can contact the people that desire to track down where this stone has been sent and used.
