Its funny, I have asked and been asked this question before and each time I go through it Faye tells me something new. So while this example concerns a relative of mine, the example is "relative" to your and as it turns out an olde question of mine. So here it is, and I quote [both of your e-mails arrived this morning] Hello Eric, When David Todd worked on the headstone inscriptions in Old Donagheady he wrote this in the book: Procedure for Recording. The graveyard is roughly rectangular as may be seen from the Strabane District Council's map on page vii. Starting at the north-west corner, grids ten metres square were marked, proceeding along the east wall and coded A1, A2, A3, B1, B3 and so on. (This coding continued to H3) The grids coded 3 narrow slightly as they approach the west wall and are never the exact ten metres square; both north and south walls are 80 metres; the east is 32.5 and the west 27. The Macklin headstone is located in B2 #4 I have attempted to show you below the layout of his B2 grid 3 4 2 1 Headstone #1 - no name, #2 - Divine, #3 - Brown & #4 - Macklin (only part of name J. MACKL..... ) From: "Kathy" <bellmole@sympatico.ca> To: <nir-tyrone@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 5:00 AM Subject: Re: [NIR-TYRONE] Cemetery Surveys Thank you so much for the information Eric. My next question is where would I find such a survey for Donaheady? Thank You Kathy
