Many of the transcriptions listed below contain special information referenced from a web site, used to determine parents surname. Sorry, but due to rootsweb/usgenweb restrictions, I'm not permitted to post the urls on this page, but Christine might be willing to share the link with you. If you send Christine an inquiry, please include county, township and cemetery names along with memorial stone inscription, so that she knows which individual you're researching.
