Hi, I have a document sent to me on the Clough's and it came through as
a "Part 1 " in a square at the bottom of the page... question I clicked
on the Part 1 like I always do and it went directly to "save as" in
stead of opening... I tryed everything to get this open and can't.. I
even tryed to save, and remail back to me and I can not get past the
save as... I only have wordperfect 5.2 for windows and it will not
reconize the document to open it in wordperfect.. this has never
happened before... any suggestion on reading this thing??? usually when
I get something I just click and it opens and I never see the "save as "
square. thanks Judy by the way I use netscape 3.0

I found this site and many publications on or including photography of gravestones available there:
http://www.berkshire.net/ags/
Although the site (Association for Gravestone Studies) doesn't provide the information online (there appears to be a link intended but it isn't
active) - the publications are available at a reasonable price - perhaps an investment for the Clough Family.
Still hoping to find cousins or information on my John Clough of Boston line. Anyone?

Hi to all;
I hope the weekend was enjoyable to all.
I have a general question to this list. I'm hoping there may be an
answer!
In Volume 1 of the John Clough book, pages 86 & 141, #204, Winthrop
Clough.
Has any new information been found for Winthrop. Perhaps any children?
Thanks

PS - I'm actually going to England for Christmas! This is going to be

Would there be a connection to Suella Fogg do you think? Is she still a member of this list Bonnie? If not I have her email address. Jackie

Hi Glenn,
There are about 50 "Marys" listed in the index. :(
I didn't check them. I don't see a Stephen Fogg, but
there's a reference on p. 351 of Vol. I:
# 1071, BETTE, dau. of Benjamin and Eliza (Magoon)
Clough. (William, Zacheus, Ichabod, Benoni, John-2-1)
Born Dec. 23, 1810 in Danville, Canada. she married
Daniel Fogg of Newfields, N.H., on May 3, 1838.
Same surname, but later than you want, and not the
right town.
Does anyone have time to check through the Mary Cloughs'
in the books for Glenn?

Good idea. I had the camcorder right in the car too,
but was concentrating on getting "still" shots to scan. :(
>you can also read them out loud or have someone else read them
Right. That was my mistake. I should have written down the
inscription while I was right there. Since then, I've picked
up a small tape recorder also. So from now on, I'll either
video them, in addition to the still shots, or write down the
inscription, or read it into the tape recorder. That should
cover it. :)

I wish every town was like Cabot, Vt. One resident in town
has taken on the mission of restoring the town cemeteries
and headstones. They bought a machine that cleans the stones.
You wouldn't believe the difference. I have photos of old
stones there, that were black and unreadable just a few years
ago. Now those same stones are sparkling white and chrystal
clear.
As opposed to the West Wheelock Vermont Cemetery.:((
IF I ever go back, I will walk. The "road" is impassable.
I don't know when the last time was it was mowed, and the
headstones are all broken and down. I've contacted the
Vermont Old Cemetery Association (VOCA) to see what can be
done about restoration. (VOCA does have a web site, for those
of you who are interested.)
Anyway, because time is taking it's toll, and if these old
stones are not unreadable at this point, they soon will be,
I think it's important to get the photos and inscriptions
now before that happens. Again, for those of you who are
interested, USGenWeb has a "Tombstone Project". Volunteers
go to cemeteries near them, and record the inscriptions on
the headstones, so that they're not lost. It's a worthy
project. You might want to check it out.

Does anyone have info. on this Mary? Who were her parents? She married
Stephen Fogg on 22 Dec 1762 in Kensington, Rockingham Co., NH. He was bapt.
31 Oct 1741, possibly Kensington, NH; d. 13 Oct 1821 Exeter, NH. He was the

Dear Cousins,
For those of you with video cameras it is very helpful to video gravestones.
Besides being able to have 'pictures' of different angles of the stone
(sometimes this helps to bring out other details) you can also read them out
loud or have someone else read them out loud.
For those of us that do not own our own video cameras sometimes we can borrow
them from family or friends or even rent them.
Does anyone know for sure what, if anything, we can use on old unreadable
stones to help bring out more definition?
Best regards!!

I am looking for any information on Francis Clow. In 1878 Francis Clow
is listed on a marriage license as the groom to Sarah Swan in Berrien
Co., Ga.. This was Sarah's 2nd marriage she was Sarah King before her
first marriage. Sarah was app. 46 years old in 1878. I can not find
Francis and Sarah after 1878. Any and all information would be
appreciated.

Hi Rooters: For an excellent reference to gravestones see:
http://members.aol.com/ctgravenet. Cheers, Nate
Hi everyone...because there is this discussion about photographing
headstones, and the condition of headstones, I thought I would throw this
out to you.....and ask if anyone knows of a treatment or even what
professional one would speak with about it. In May I went down to a
"family" cemetery in southern Indiana. All the years I was growing up and
going to visit my relatives and going to that cemetery with them on
Memorial day, I did not realize they all were my relatives. The
headstones go back to around 1830, maybe earlier.
There are so many that are very difficult to read. There seems to be some
kind of hard calcium like growth on some. It remined me the barnacles that
attack themselves to rocks or boats.
Of course, with different periods of time, styles were different and how
the stone was finished seems to also affect them. Have any of you come
across this? I was going to try and do a
process, like the brass rubbings that use to be popular in England. There
was no way I could have done this.
The sad thing is that where there was more than names and dates listed, so
much of that has been lost. Has anyone consulted with a professional
about what to do. Is there a product to clean them with. (No, I'm not
going to go around cleaning all of them, but wondered about trying to read
a couple of them. One is my 4th great grandmother.....she died 20 years
before her husband (1880) and I'd like to know what he had put on her
stone, there's an inscription on the base.

Oops. Good thing I posted it before I did it I guess.

Maybe this will help someone. I found this entry on Ancestry.com today:

Hi Group,
I just got the following message, in response to my question
about how to photograph an old headstone that is black, and
the script/text doesn't "show". I thought I'd pass it along
in case the information might help someone else here.

>=======================
When we take photos of any stone, I use men's shaving cream. Spray
it on the stone and rub it down into the lettering, then with the edge of
the yard stick, you pull the yard stick across the stone to take off the
excess shaving cream. Sometimes depending on the color of the stone, you
may need to rub with a rag in between the letting to get off all the shaving
cream. This cleans the stone and you don't have to do anything with it as
it just evaporates. You can use water and this cleans the stone really
well. This will not work so well on stones where the letters are raised,
altho, I have put it on the stone and cleaned the raised letters off.
Good luck. Lou
