Back about 5 years ago I had approx 35,000 obituaries. I probably have 5 times that many now. When I saw the name DeNormandie, I thought, well, I've never heard that name before...I searched all my D's and got down to the last three when I found one. Here it is: Mary Lawrence DeNormandie, 85, of Washington died Wednesday, Sept. 16, 1981, while visiting her son in Telford, Tenn. She was born Nov. 15, 1895, in Washington Co., the daughter of Clair and Annie Heriott Lawrence. Mrs. DeNormandie attended the Houston schools. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Washington. On April 14, 1924, she married Thomas A. DeNormandie, who died in 1976. Surviving are one son, Robert L.

I have recently learned from a distant DENORMANDIE cousin that there are a slew of DENORMANDIE's buried in Washington Cemetery (she also related this is the largest cemetery in Washington County). I happily e-mailed the cemetery and this is what I got back from them. None of my own DENORMANDIE (DE NORMANDIE) ancestors ever lived in Washington County (they lived in Bucks & Philadelphia & Charleston, SC). I am following one distant cousin's line AMOS DE NORMANDIE, b. PA abt. 1790 to Washington County to try to work out his descendants. Wondering if some kind soul might check out my DENORMANDIE's for me in this cemetery. I presume they may be buried close to one another? Here is e-mail received. A quick search through our records revealed "40" interments under the name Denormandie. If you wish a listing of all "40" with genealogical information we may have been provided at the time of interment the price for this listing is $2.50 per name or a total of $100. Please make check payable to The Washington Cemetery, Inc. @ 498 Park Avenue, Washington, PA 15301.

Looks interesting http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7024672.stm Illegible words on church headstones could be read once more thanks to a scan technology developed in the US. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon university are making high resolution 3D scans of tombstones to reveal the carved patterns in the stone. A computer matches the patterns to a database of signature carvings which reveals the words. The technique could one day also be used by doctors to examine a patient's tongue for signs of illness. Scientists often find it difficult to distinguish between natural phenomena and man-made art works carved into stone, due to the build-up of algae and surface dirt. At the moment, archaeologists are forced to do hand-tracing work with plastic sheets and to examine objects first hand in order to decipher obscured writings. Randi Bowles-Meentzen
