Genealogist's Journal 26 October 2009
Sunday (25th) started as a disaster since apparently my husband has caught this virus/cold!
I worked on the list of gravestones from the Lower Mystic Cemetery in Groton/West Mystic. I added many of them to my tree at Ancestry.com (especially the folks named Fish), and found that whole families are buried here.
Emailed the woman who added gravestones to this cemetery at Find A Grave as she and I corresponded last summer. Her gravestones of the older graves are easily read and mine are not. It may be that they were taken early in the day or perhaps a few years ago. I copied her transcriptions and compared them to the gravestones I took last August. Using a few words/dates and the shape and position of the stones, I matched the right one of hers to mine.
Took some time to read!
