Link: Durham Gravestone Transcriptions

[hampan]

Hi, all.  I make no apologies for plugging my own site because I think it is of use to and compliments rootschat.

I am now 6 weeks into compiling a gravestone index for the 17th, 18th and 19th century stones that can be found in County Durham.  It is a long term project, but I have already transcribed 2,000 gravestones and published those transcripts on-line.  Accessing the transcripts is completely free and the site is easy to use - just input a surname into the search box and you will receive a list of all the transcripts under that name.  Amazingly it works and enables you to link various family stones between the different graveyards.

A long way to go yet, but it might be worth checking in from time to time if you are looking for Durham connections.  The site is http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk  It may appear as just a Blog, but trust me it is so much more than that.

Hope they allow me to keep this post here.  Regards, David Hamilton.
