Transcriptions of inscribed information shown on headstones and memorials have been made for countless years. Often these typed or handwritten accounts become the only record of inscriptions as the years take their toll. Many of these accounts are now slowly becoming available online. Photographs of headstones and memorials create a visual and accurate record. Although they possibly exist, we have yet to discover a stone with wrong information. On the other hand we constantly find clerical errors in written accounts. Photographic records show the stone as it appeared at a specific time, before any further weathering or damage, or as has often occured, the stone is broken or removed. Along with any information available, often including photographs of the people and families referred to, these not only serve to assist future genealogists, but helps to make sure their memory lives on.
