I have a copy of the deed from my husband's parents burial plot...it told me when his grandfather was buried and his middle initial (all useful information)...and we are looking for his grandmother because she was not there...the nice young girl at the cemetery sent me information on someone of the same name who died around the same time...but with another husband....I have also called 7 cemeteries looking for the elusive grandmother ...everyone was pleasant and helpful...unfortunately we haven't found her yet!
