Summary of Churchyards.uk website
For each Church, Town or Village there are three Microsoft Access databases together with an image folder containing one portrait image of each headstone. Also there can be a map of the churchyard with a reference number for each memorial.
Once data has been uploaded to the website it will be free for people to access, providing valuable information when conducting ancestery searches for their family tree.
There is a total cost per year of £30 (or £2.50 per month) for each set of databases so that might be one church including churchyard extensions; could even cover a town with several churchyards provided they can be distinguished from each other. If you are interested please go to Contact page.
The results are displayed in three linked databases:-
Memorial Names
The Memorial Names Database gives details of all the people mentioned on each gravestone, allowing a quick means of finding individuals and family relationships.
Memorials
