To Barbara Braswell and Denver Boyd: Thank you so much for transcribing and photographing graveyards. I live in Canada and am so appreciative for your acts of kindness.
I don’t have any website in mind, so don’t know what to fill in there.
My interest is in Garvagh Second Presbyterian Church, and I got the information I needed. Thank you.
