WRITTEN IN STONE
When I started out, most of the pictures on this site covered the time frame of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Connecticut River Valley area of Massachusetts and Connecticut ( also Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island). All pictures done at random while taking photos of my ancestors gravestones.
In the process of getting the photographs, I realized that there are very few early stones left , they are either gone or unreadable. So I decided that I would photograph the earliest stones I can find in the cemeteries.
The following mailing list for family researchers searching EARLY

There is one thing a good genealogist must have .......MAPS ! My favorite is the © Arrow maps by Langenscheidt Publishing Group....you can get street maps of different areas ( cemeteries are shown ! ) that you are working on.
My shelf is full of maps and atlas' of every New England state The link below will get you to the ©Arrow site and you can order on line or go to a store that sells maps. (you will need to highlight and copy)........
