Is it at the Historical Society or one of the other State Bldgs. Virginia Best place is the Historical Society. You can make a copy for the cost of the copy machine as long as you don't need a certified copy. This is also privided you are talking about a death after 1900. Before that time you have to go to the county level or check for the random acts kindness people. For photos of tombstones I have found the best place is the _www.findagrave.com_ (http://www.findagrave.com) website. I take photos from cemeteries near me for people from there. If the person is not already on the site and you know for sure where they are buried you can enter their info and then try for a request for a photo. Usually someone will take one for you. Annie in Minnesota

Thanks for the information.
