Oh no!!!! All of that history lost! I have photographed all of the family headstones I
have been able to find in Scotland and when there was no stone erected, have photographed
the space anyway. There is a family stone in Dundee's Eastern Cemetery that had fallen
over and was in three large pieces. My husband, daughter, a friend and I put the pieces
together in a way where I could photograph and transcribe the inscription. (And that it
isn't in the way--doesn't cause a safety hazard.) It was through that stone that I
found the names of my gggps, my ggps, the "missing" great uncle in the Campbell
tree and that he died in WWI and is buried in France. Also his wife's name. All that
through a headstone!

A relation of my Bro in law told me his father had the gstone in
Bellanaleck, which had the whole list of names and dates, replaced by a new
one with just the WALLACE name on it. I don't know what happened the old
stone but Albert said he did not even have a photograph of it. Grrrr
It is annoying when old stones are removed and no transcription of it
recorded somewhere. I asked the Minister if he had a transcription of it
but the only way to find who was buried would be to have someone go through
the register he said.
