Hi there

Does anyone know if this person is still doing this?
Or has anyone used this service recently, and if so, how long did you have to wait for any reply to be made?

Bren,

Kenny emailed me pictures of three headstones back in June. I was so excited because it listed other family memebers on the headstone that I didn't have in my database. I must have emailed him at the right time because I got the information in a few hours.

Genealogically yours,

Hi Gene

Thanks for that.
I will give him another couple of weeks....
I have found some more of my family on his list, so maybe I will send a request for those from another email address and see which one gets answered first.

That's a pity the site is no longer up, Kenny kindly sent me some pics last year.

Ah well, it was good while it lasted.

I offer a good collection of photographed headstones but they are mainly of the highly decorative reverses of 17th-18th century stones. I remember the previous site but am unaware of any stones that were actually displayed. It looked like a simple list with no images.

I have about 400 images, many of which are in Ayrshire.

He just had the indexes listed on the site, he emailed you the pics you requested.

LIke I said pity he couldn't keep it going but he must have been inundated with requests.

I see!

No wonder he couldn't keep it going. Well, I know I gave the link elsewhere but there are a good many gravestones, free to view, here:

http://ajmorton.photos.us.com/c653448.html

Sorry his site is down. His was probably more suitable in that it presumably included images of the identification sides of the stones.

I have many links (worldwide) to Tombstones and monumental inscriptions on this website

Unfortunately I have not had time to update the links for a while.

I believe Kenny suffered two sudden losses in his immediate family, details unknown.

I was recently in Ayrshire Scotland researching Templeton, Kennedy, McCreadie, Forgie and was interested to see these names listed by other rootschat members. There is very little information pre 1800 but it would be interesting to compare notes. My family links are with Colmonell, Ballantrae and Lendalfoot.
