A huge THANK YOU to all of you who sent suggestions, hints, ideas - and even an email copy of the lead story - about opening this link. I still haven't conquered the problem, but I am determined that I WILL do it! I have relatives buried in McColl Cemetery, and have found it to be a lovely, peaceful place, well maintained and a pleasure to visit. One of the things that I was hoping to find on Christine's suggested site for McColl Cemetery is if there is a transcription of the actual burial records, rather than of the stones themselves. My relative's stone has a death date for her husband, but not for her. I am pretty sure that she died after he did, and they had no children, so a death date was never added to her stone. Without a death date, I can't find an obituary or a death cert... and so it goes. Suggestions gladly received... Again, thank you! You're a neat bunch!

Hi, For those that can't get to the McColl Cemetery web page with the full url here is what they call a "tiny url" that hopefully will take you to the page. http://tinyurl.com/5y6tg If you manage to bring up the page you will note that this is only a snapshot of the page in Google's cache and is not an updated page. If anyone is interested in making "Tiny" url's out of those long ones that can be confusing here is the site where you can do it. http://tinyurl.com/ Making these urls is off topic so if anyone needs more information please contact me off list for further information on the Tiny urls.
