    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2AB.2ACI/4815.1.3.1 Message Board Post: I believe most of the cemetery records were gathered in the early 1970's. The records would include all legible tombstones at the time, no matter how old they were. There are thousands of graves marked with just fieldstones - no way to identify those unless a family member can. Personally, my great-great grandmother's grave was marked with only a fieldstone in Pulaski County. My grandfather was one that helped bury her, even though he was not yet married to her daughter. He carved her initials in the stone and luckily it was passed down through the family where she was buried and which grave was hers. We had a picture of the fieldstone, so this past spring were able to get a marker placed beside the fieldstone so that others, in the future could identify her grave.
