Thanks for that tip. I guess just about anything works when doing rubbings. Mary

gravestone rubbing except some paper. I was able to use some grass I pulled
up nearby and did the rubbing using my notebook paper and the grass blades.
I am really glad I went to the effort to do this because the next time I
visited the family graveyard, the stones had deteriorated to the extent that
even a rubbing would not have been possible.

Always be prepared to do a gravestone rubbing when going "into the field".

Good luck with your research.
