Guest Anonymous Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Lilac,I might happen to have some info which isn't currently on the Shetlopedia website. We have loads of info which is "waiting for upload", among which are hundreds of pictures of gravestones. We've already helped a few folk with pics like that.If you PM me a name I can search our picture files.
