Thanks so much for the reply Joyce. I have also spoken with the older lady before she died. I have spoken with her son on the phone and his wife via email. I got the same andwer. NO RECORDS. It is beyond me how they knew where to dig a new grave if it was not plotted out. They have given me permission to place a memorial stone in the cemetery. I suppose I better start thinking of doing that. The real posibilities of finding the right "spot" is looking very slim. Thanks you very much. I shutter to think of some of my ancestors going through what I have to find his burial spot.
