Jay, Audrey Snyder on the web put me on to a little trick of using plain flour.It brings out writing on dark stones very well as well as some light ones. Dust the stone very well. It is bio-degradeable. Good luck, Carol

Photographing at high noon works best for me, on visible stones, sometimes bringing out the more obscure characters. Silvered windshield screens sometimes is used to reflect the sunlight just sufficient to highlight some stones, but it doesn't always work on all stones. I'd stick to the shaving creme, taking along a spray squeeze bottle of water to help clean up the mess you mentioned. And of course there is the digital camera, allowing you to see exactly what you got. You may have to take and delete a dozen shots at different settings/angles before you get the one you like; it also allows you to notice the finger over the lens!

Charles and Listers, Does anyone have any experience in using ultraviolet photographic film to enhance the engraving on tombstones? What are some of the other techniques used to bring out the engraving that will not damage the stones? I have tried shaving cream and a straight edge and it works, but it's a little messy.

Jay, The material the tombstones were made out of is so delicate, you shouldn't use any chemical on them or anything that will scrape at them. Use of mirrors, flash lights to cast shadows, maybe holding up a clear plastic sheet that is yellow in color, may help, but anything that is a chemical is going to help deteriorate that stone even more for future generations to read. Best of luck. Myrna

I have order vol 1 and hopefully vol 2, they hard to find ,but I think I have located at least 1. I di not order 3 because you have it . I will be glad to do lookups for you.

Susan, Would you please look for JACOB FRANK b. abt 1823 d. abt 1890 and his wife ANNA MARGARETHA HEDRICH (spelling could be diff), FRANK, D. 3/18/1880. I am not sure that they are buried in the same cemetery. His father, David, is buried at Fetterhoff Church/ St. Peters Lutheran Church. Halifax. I believe Jacob died in Lower Paxton or Susquehanna township. Probably more info than you want. Thanks a lot. Gail Frank Geary

The name SMITH appears in: Lutheran Churchyard, Hummelsville New Cemetery, Hummelstown Fetterholf Lutheran and Reformed Church, Halifax St. Peter's Church Graveyard, Middletown St. John's Lutheran Church Graveyard, Wisconisco Rife Brothers Farm Graveyard, near Highspire Shell's Lutheran and Reformed Church Cemetery, East Hanover Twp.

Old Paxtang Church (Paxtang Presbyterian Meeting House, Paxtang Lutheran and Reformed Graveyard, Elizabethville and WOLF (no "e") appears in: Klinger Cemetery, Lykens Twp. Bindnagle Churchyard Shell's Lutheran and Reformed Church Cemetery, East Hanover Twp. Good luck, Elida in SC

Paul, I located a small book I have titled "Surname Index to 49 Dauphin County Cemeteries - Pennsylvania -", pub. 1980 by Southwestern Pennsylvania Genealogical Services. It has the surname WOODSIDE listed for the Lutheran and Reformed Graveyard in Elizabethville. SHELL is listed in Shell's Lutheran and Reformed Church Cemetery, East Hanover Twp. Hope this helps!

Hi Paul, I am sorry, there are no listings in my book of Woodside or Shell. There are only 18 cemeteries listed in the book I have. There are many more cemeteries in Dauphin County.
