We have noted which stones last the longest, which ones are more visible when you're searching for them among the many, but most importantly, which ones have ALL of the information we are looking for.<br /><br />We like to find FULL names not just first or middle initials and FULL dates not just a date such as 1800 - 1859. It's especially helpful if it says "dau. or son of so and so or mother/father of so and so". If the additional name(s) are not ones we were aware of it gives us another bit of info to research. If we did have the parents/childs names it helps to confirm our research.<br /><br />So, to be sure that ours is as we want it to be, it has already been placed with ALL of the information we want on it...except the ending date, of course!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583265678565750396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824488.post-60808843225975534702010-07-28T20:14:38.103-07:002010-07-28T20:14:38.103-07:00I recall your mother liked collecting antiques-- a...I recall your mother liked collecting antiques-- an unusual, older style stone seems fitting.
