have updated my page on rubbings, to let people know that's my dad in the photo. Also, as a side note, those are the middle two of my four children, and between the two of them I now have 5 grandsons and 2 step-granddaughters..................with my daughter only one week away from presenting us with our next grandchild!!!!!!!!!

Hi all, I don't claim to know all the rights and wrongs, but I just used my instincts, and created a 'Cemetery Visit' webpage for my county. Since I really believe that pelon rubbings are the best route for me, and one that I use, I focused on that, and maybe I shouldn't have. But, please visit and let me know if I missed anything, or if you know of something that I could add to enhance my viewers education. It got out of hand, and a bit lengthy, but I just felt I needed to encompass as much as possible, for diversity, while sticking with the topic of copying the tombstone data. So come on......what did I miss. Probably something really obvious. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wifonddu/resources/cemeteries/cemetery_rubbings.html thanks all tracy reinhardt

I have, Tracy, But you know what? some are just so stubborn, and they think you don't know, and so they keep on what they are doing! :( Sometimes it can amount to almost a knock down drag out fight (feature that online!<g>) and you still don't make your point.

At the last meeting of our genealogical society, one of the members mentioned that he had just gone out to one of the oldest Catholic cemeteries in the county, and discovered that someone has just gone through it........with a wire brush. Now the oldest stones are no longer legible!!!!!!!! I just hope that we take the time to educate new genealogists on the proper way to do rubbings, and to tell them to leave those wire brushes home. Adds an incentive to those photographs!!!! Also, guess I need to create a page on my site for the safe way to do rubbings, or find one to link to. tracy reinhardt

I'm tickled pink about a contribution of plat maps to Ashland County WIGenWeb by Kim Potaracke. I have posted the maps for 1898 and 1905 already and there are more years in my inbox. It just takes awhile to download all these! I have all listed at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiashla3/maps.html but I will probably end up with links to the years and individual index pages for each year so the page isn't so long before the project is over!
