    3. Hello Peggy, You mentioned Perry Co., PA [my husband's line is strong there] and though we're in the midwest and don't get to research there but maybe once/yr I thought of a suggestion. Why don't you briefly get on the PA-PERRY list. Bet someone there will be able to help you find the cemetery you seek. It's a particulary helpful group of folks and the Perry Co. Historians [though no website] seem to monitor and help out frequently. Toni H. St. Peters, MO peggyt wrote: > John, > Do not despair about lack of photos of graves.
