Great job on the websites! I commend you on your hard work! A tip on reading hard to read tombstones... Take a pad of white paper, or piece or white cardboard with you. Hold it near the stone and turn it at different angles. You will see you can deflect the light onto the stone in different ways causing showdows in the recesses of the letters making them easier to read. --- [email protected] wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to > this mailing list. > > Classification: Cemetery > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/iRB.2ACE/2795.1.1 > > Message Board Post: > > Mark, > Thanks for your nice comments.
