Re: cemetery records - maps
Is HKVS on that lair only on the map, or is it on others too?
Is it in the same type-face or writing style as other writing on the map?
My good friend Google has not helped with this one.
All the best,

Its on a map that the cemetery has let me have and handwritten. There are another 3 records with the same initial. I found nothing on google.
Re: cemetery records - maps
Might it be some code that the cemetery use to record information about what's in the plot, such as Headstone, Kerb, Vase, Statue? Or a note about its condition, eg headstone keeling very slightly?
If the cemetery provided you with the plan, they are probably the people who made the handwritten notes on it, and who would be able to explain it.

Thank you for that info and will try to follow it up. Did not think of that.
