Congratulations Wiggy & Malky

I did some further digging this morning to try to confirm the info that appeared to be on the stone. Your photo manipulation nailed just about everything! :) Thank you.

In loving memory of

Alexander Boyd
Who died 15 November 1877 Aged 62 years.

Also his wife
Salina MacPherson (also known as Sophia)
Died 17 November 1895
Aged 51 years.

And their daughter Mary (also known as Mary Ann)
Died 2 March 1869 Aged 1 year.

Also their son Alek
Died 11 November 1905
Aged 30 years.

I'm doing a happy dance. You rock. Thanks again.  :-*

I'll be posting a few others for help as I enter the 500 or so headstones in the cemetery.  ;)

Same stone - another angle in the event that helps.  ;)

Hi Chatters,

Can someone please pop back to help please?  :)

It would be great if another set of eyes looked at the headstone image I posted in this thread on 14 April.

If I'm going to get better at this, I also need to figure out how Malky got the negative image on the headstone I posted a few days ago. I have an adjustment for "exposure" & "effects" but I can't see anything that gives me the image he got. ???

Does anyone have any advice for me? I'm about 1/2 way through uploading the virtual cemetery (352 internment so far) for Nunton Cemetery, Benbecula & have 6 headstones that need some extra photographic treatment in order to decipher them.

Thanks in advance,
