New Death Records On Ancestors At Rest

Hi again

I have put more new data online on Ancestors At Rest this week. I have added more coffin plates to the index. One pair of plates is most interesting as they are for a husband and wife from Maine. Andrew Leighton and his wife Sophia. The coffin plate for Sophia who died in 1864 is quite nice as it is one of the more rare patterns of early coffin plates

I have also updated my Death, Funeral and Burial Customs pages

Hope you find a ancestor.
Brian.
