Okay Maxine, this is correct. I just thought possibly you were saying we could get the whole record from churches or funeral homes. We can if they own the cemetery and therefore hold the Sexton files. Even then I would see if I could find another record someplace of an earlier reading to compare with my own survey and the Sexton files. Each cemetery reading is a unique and separate one, to find what is available. Remember this is the Tombstone or cemetery project, we are not a full information service, but primarily putting out the readings from headstones. We than include Sexton information if we acquire it. Church records would be a whole different form of research, which is being planned when the time allows.
