When I questioned my Aunt Emily on this, she told me that the City of Philadelphia was supposed to move our family's burial land in order to make a new city dump. When a genealogist discovered that her ancestor who worked for the Elliott's was buried there, she researched it more and discovered that nothing was moved and the dump was placed right over top of the burial grounds. Apparently, the tombstones are no where to be found. I have always wondered what the outcome of this lawsuit was. I do not want any financial gain, I just want to know where my ancestors are! Where are the headstones? Where are the records??? DOES ANYONE KNOW? Misty Hawkins
