Yes, i've been told that also. So, the gravestones of our ancestors who left there are no longer to be found. A lot of cemeteries have old stones piled around the perimeter of the cemetery, names no longer legible. We've been there 6 times and every time, I still can't resist the urge to search in the cemeteries. I have found a few with the same name but they are all newer.The thing is, all the cemeteries are not around the churches. Some are out in the country and its always possible that those graves have not been "reused" as much. Thanks for responding.
