 Surnames transcribed

An attempt was made to photograph all headstones. - Transcriptions were limited to names and dates seen off of the photographs and follow-up trips to help decipher some of the hard to read headstones. If the headstone wrote a summary of the individual's life, an attempt was made to transcribe the entire headstone.  As many of these headstones were extremely weather beaten, multiple photos of the same headstone was taken and stored on the CD
