http://cyndy.smugmug.com/ WRITTEN IN STONE When I started out, most of the pictures on this site covered the time frame of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Connecticut River Valley area of Massachusetts and Connecticut ( also Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island). All pictures done at random while taking photos of my ancestors gravestones. In the process of getting the photographs, I realized that there are very few early stones left , they are either gone or unreadable. So I decided that I would photograph the earliest stones I can find in the cemeteries.
