I don't know how familiar you are with tombstone rubbings, but you might want to read this article before you do. Many older stones are very fragile and rubbings can deteriorate them further. There is a great deal of information out there on caring for old tombstones and a lot of misinformation is available. The best practice is to just be careful and remember that future generations may want to view these valuable resources also. http://www.savinggraves.com/education/bookshelf/rubbings.htm The information under this heading is particularly useful... A NOTE ABOUT SHAVING CREAM, FLOUR OR CHALK. I've found that 3D moldings of the stone work very well and aluminum foil is great. It can be purchased cheaply at discount stores. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 1:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MO-CEM] I HAVE OVER 110 CEMETERY PHOTOS This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Ed, I am so thankful you took the time to send this information. I am sure no one would knowingly harm these old stones, and many including myself, until last year, thought a chalk rubbing would be acceptable. Just recently added a stone to the base of an old upright stone for my great grandfather who lies in AR. Through researching the possibilities of restoring his old stone I ran across this link you shared. It sure opened my eyes and could benefit all genealogist or anyone concerned about the deterioration of the old stones. Thanks again for sharing, Mary Clegg, CA. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.D.

Thanking you again for the wonderful information. I have printed it out and will arrive at the cemeteries fully and correctly prepared. Mary C. CA. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.D.
