Where is the Zug cemetery? Ulrich Zug was my 5 great grandfather on dad's side. Thanks.

I have three photos of the stone that Bob discusses below in the Zug Cemetery. Send me an email if you would like a copy of the photos. Perhaps someone who reads 18th century German can decipher the stone.

I have her name as Barbara Groff. Am I incorrect or was it Elizabeth Barbara Groff (or Barbara Elizabeth Groff)? Daniel Holllinger and Elizabeth/Barbara Groff are my 4G Grandparents. I have another puzzle with Daniel that has intrigued me. He is buried in the Ulrich Zug family cemetery. Why? The only connection I have found to the Zug family was that Barbara's younger sister, Eva Groff, married John Kinsey, whose mother was Barbara Zug. That seems to be an awfully weak as a reason for the burial. I have visited the cemetery, and Daniel is the only non-Zug there.
