    1. Tombstone rubbing

    3. Hi I wanted to respond to tombstone rubbings. I found a headstone of an ancestor buried in 1800, it was so bad that you could't read any letters on it. I took some shave cream and sprayed it across the top, then with a window squeegee I spreaded the cream across the face of the headstone. Every letter was filled in with the cream and I was able to take the most wonderful pictures. The great thing about this is, the shave cream is just soap, it won't harm the head stone. Try it, you will be amazed at what great pictures you get. Terry Lanham-Beatty
