Suzie, can you tell us how to tell age and sex? We will be going back up to the old Monkstown Cemetery soon and this would be helpful. Of course a child's grave would be smaller, but sex???? The state has equipment that can tell if there is a grave in certain locations so in our case they put up a white cross for each "unknown" grave. Nancy P.S. I know that first question may sound funny. Yes, I know how to tell sex and approx age, but not of the dead.

I don't know either...but I do understand it can be done. Our dousing demo is not until May 1st...after than time, I'm certain to have become and "expert"...but prior to that..I'm just as clueless as you! You are welcome to come to the demo but I'll be sure to report back in just in case.
