Hunter Graves. (just started)

I can't imagine how many Hunter graves there must be in Scotland. I can imagine that every week there will be some that are either damaged or due to age are rendered unreadable. Gravestones tell stories that sometimes cannot be found elsewhere. Stories of the past and the people in it. Sometimes all that is left to tell of a life lived.
Invaluable to genealogists.

The idea here is to record some of that information, someone somewhere will be looking for it sometime.
Anyone with pictures of Hunter graves, or details of web sites showing Hunter graves are welcome to send them in. If you can e-mail them and ideally, please if you can, write the details and location on a windows notepad they can be copied directly online which will allow search engines to store the link.

I have started with a collection of links to web sites containing lots of Hunters and also started to put some photo's I have taken in my travels. Maybe you can help add some.

A little tip to speed up searching on large pages, like graves or genealogy forums: on your browser (normally internet explorer) usally at the top left, you have an option called "edit", click and select "find on this page" then type in your search query ie. Hunter or (christian name) and Hunter or location & so on. (on new internet explorer 9 - top right: Tools/file/find on this page)
This saves checking hundreds of other names on the page and instantly shows if your search term is on this page, how many times and whereabouts.
