Summary/Abstract: The article presents 19th century tombstone inscriptions from Catholic ceme¬teries in Podolia. An important part of the inscription is the marking of the founder and their relationship to the deceased. The article analyzes tombstone inscriptions from the historic Catholic cemeteries of Podolia that were made in the 19th and early 20th century. The presented inscriptions were saved and photographed by the author of the article during research internships, the “Save my great grandfather save from oblivion” (“Mogiłę pradziada ocal od zapomnienia”) program, as well as planned trips to document the tombstones and publish the findings.
