Introduction

This is my attempt in joining The Association of Grave Yard Rabbits, since I do have photographs of headstones taken while my wife and I have been doing our family research. The Labels will be used to attempt to identify the Burial Ground / Cemetery and the Surname of the individual(s) whose headstone is in the picture. Some basic information will be provided, as it is known.

Please feel free to leave a comment to the posting.

Thank you,

Happy Hunting, Ancestors that is.
