Argyll headstones...

[Juli <kalwa@cwix.com>]

Hi all -

Here are a few of the headstones from Inveraray.  I found a few pages of
scribbled notes.  I must remember next time to write in permanent ink and
THICK paper when I decide to transcribe headstones in a snow storm.  Afraid
my careful work is now smeared and a wrinkly mess - oh well still can make
it out so here goes....

Hoping for some connections.....
