Fred: The Association for Gravestone Studies has a database program that might work for you: http://www.gravestonestudies.org/store/software.htm 17.95 for members | $18.95 for non-members Also I think that if someone in your group has experience working with MS Access that you might be able to create your own database or maybe a student at a local community college would be able to help set-up a database for you using Access. Excel will probably not do what you want. I found this one you can check out: http://www.adsd.com/software/cdb/ Kathi Jones-Hudson MD Tombstone Transcription Project Manager http://www.usgwtombstones.org/maryland/maryland.html
