Please don't do this to me (and other former inhabitants of those green and
pleasant lands) now I am totally blue (8-(

More seriously though. Your discussion of the MI transcriptions is
fascinating. I only wish my ancestors in Minchinhapton, GLS, had been
recorded (come to think of it they probably were not wealthy enough to have
had stones).

My only experience of recording MIs was in a recent (by your standards)
cemetary in the middle of the prairies of southern Alberta. Our main
problem was wind-burn. Everything was in fairly neat rows so it was not
difficult to keep the relationships straight.

I assume you considered using a grid system and giving relationships of
adjacent graves that way. Can you explain why this would not work: I do
realise that it would not be as clear as a plot plan but it would be easier
to put on a searchable database.
