Names in Stone. 75,000 Cemetery Inscriptions from Frederick County, Maryland. Volume 2, Reprinted with More Names in Stone - Paperback

Arranged in alphabetical order (Vol. 1, A-K; Vol. 2, K-Z), "Names in Stone" is not only a comprehensive and brilliantly organized collection of tombstone inscriptions, it is also a guide to the location of Frederick County cemeteries; and every entry, every name, is keyed to a precise burial ground so that information may be checked first-hand. (All cemeteries are numbered in geographical sequence and located on accompanying maps.) In all, Mr. Holdcraft explored more than 300 sites, mostly disused family burial grounds and abandoned churchyards. As far as can be ascertained, this work includes every verifiable burial site in Frederick County and in peripheral areas outside the county. It almost certainly represents the single greatest source available to the researcher investigating Frederick County roots.
