Gravestone Topic=The Gravestone Store

[celia]

There are so many interesting subjects, views, Questions, stories. about graves. How about having a New Page in the common room and call it "The Grave Store"  or " A grave Story"so all the topics can go in there , or be  MOVED and make it easier for others to find what they want.Instead of starting another topic on the same subject. What do you think mods
or anyone else

I love that idea Celia, perhaps we can call it "Beyond the Grave" 
Maybe it could also be a place where people can post photos of stones etc. if they are having trouble reading the inscription?

Brilliant idea.

Perhaps it could also include requests for gravestone visits in areas where Rootschatters find it impossible to visit themselves.  I'm sure there are many people who would take a look for others in their own areas - and beyond (I was going to say beyond the grave but thought better of it....  )

An excellent idea! I have been trying to travel around a bit looking at gravestones, but as all our ancestors are some distance, it would be great to post requests and in return, do some sleuthing locally.

Yes, lookups would be great too.

I don't mind looking for graves in Maidstone and surrounding villages in Kent

What a good idea!  I have found references to several of my ancestors' graves by Googling, but without photos or the means of getting to see them.  It would be useful for lookups too.

Thank you for your votes ladies, keep them coming in
I allready have a cemetery topic i have had for some time.Two in fact.One in Cheshire and one in the armed forces.
I do look ups for Rake Lane Cemetery.If you know someone is buried there,but don't know where.I have to go to the reference library to look up the burial. Before i can find the grave,I then take a photo of the grave stone if possible.
The other topic is all transcriptions taken from the gravestones of merchant seamen and there relatives.Oh yes and i take photo's of the house Grannie used to live in It all started when i found my graddads ( A Commander in the R.N.R) grave  then i spotted another the ball never stopped rolling  My Bedroom now resembles an office  Take a look at the Cheshire topic and it will give you some idea of what to do. If you decide to be a looker upper
