What is the context? (where on the tombstone is it? And what is the approximate date of the tombstone? And where is the tombstone? Or is it in a database about tombstones?)
My first impression would be it’s a roman numeral, but there is no “J” in standard roman numerals. Could the “J” actually be a fancy “I” - If an “I”, then the date would be 1999. Alternatively, if small and located inconspicuously it could be a mark of the tombstone maker. If you are finding it in the comment section of a database (such as find-a-grave), it could be the initials of the commenter From: Bill LaBarge [mailto:swt...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 3:08 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Tombstones Does anyone know what the letters ":MJM" mean on a tombstone?
