When I wrote that the old gravestones may have been "discarded",
I meant thrown away. Yesterday I received Email from two members
of our list, who had new gravestones made for the graves of relatives
and now find that the old stone had been recently photographed
in a different location from the one in which it originally was.
Yes, it seems as if sometimes there can be found two gravestones
for the same person.
