Home / Cemeteries and Graveyards / Old Calvary / Individual Grave Markers With Inscriptions Transcribed 212

I photograph and transcribe text from headstones at Calvary and other cemeteries. By making this information available on the public Internet I hope to assist tree tracers and historians connect dots of a heritage. Transcribing grave stone inscriptions is easier than it used to be, at least when the tombstones are modern and clearly legible. I use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to automatically transcribe the text, after which I edit and clean up the results of the OCR conversion. Many times, though, I type full headstone inscriptions by hand. If you spot an obvious mistake please tell me about it.
