None I know of Annie. Inscriptions on tombstones are in the public domain.
You and/or other helpers may transcribe those monument inscriptions and get
the credit for doing same.
In some cases I have had to get permission to photograph, (as on private
property) but that was rare.
As suggested many times, these resources are failing due to the ravages of
time. What we can do to preserve them will be greatly appreciated.....trust
me on that one.

I don't think there are any transcriptions of Ynysymaerdy.
That's why I
thought about taking the photographs in the first place. If I go ahead with
this project and get some help with the transcribing, will there be any
copyright issues involved?
all the best, Annie

If anyone has copyright free transcriptions we can add those to the site
now
and add the photos later. That would save perhaps months of time AND
provide
free access earlier.
Thanks for all ideas.
