Dorothy,
It's obvious that you have done your homework. I only get to get out to do
research once in a while. If I could get the locations of a couple of the
closer cemetaries then I could check those out and eventually I would end up
getting the "Guide to historical cemetaries" book and check some of them out
too. I'm going to put your e-mail address in my list of genealogical
sources. Thanks again for the pointers!
