Hi I noticed when I typed a larger piece, it cuts out all the paragraphs etc I put in. On shorter pieces, it kept the paragraphs. Grrr...space saving? Jenny

Hi It's not the right geographical area for me but there is a good example on a larger scale in Liverpool. See www.liverpool-ancestors.co.uk. It seems to have been done with the Records Office. I found the death of someone I was researching by e mailing them. Would the Records Office of the area you took the photos in be able to help you? Just a thought... Jenny

Yes there is a site. I've looked at it via a link from a thread here. They welcome any pictures people have taken and are trying to get more volunteers to take more pics. It's something I'd love to do, but the 6' gap between graves is somewhat limiting to my electric scooter, so I'm kind of stuffed on that one. If I find the link, I will come back here and post it for you.

surely there is a site somewhere you can put them on, I've seen a few dedicated for church photos but not grave stones yet. Any ideas anyone
