Even in the Indiana edition, there was a prominent story about NINETY-TWO military markers found stashed in a storage shed at Greenwood Cemetery for over 30 years by the former operators of: Eastern Cemetery (on Baxter Avenue, near Cave Hill Cem.) Schardein Cemetery (at 7th Street Road and Homeview Drive near Shively) and Greenwood Cemetery (at 41st Street and Hale Avenue) All three cemeteries were abandoned by the operators 9 years ago after the Kentucky Attorney General learned that the operators were not only double-burying in these plots, but in some instances TRIPLE-burying there. Criminal charges were filed (but eventually dismissed) against several members of the cemeteries' board of directors, who were forced to resign. Apparently the operators just walked away from the sites. Since then, they have been in limbo, although several groups have made efforts to clean them up. Apparently, the former operators received these 92 military markers during the 1960s to the 1980s and stockpiled them in a shed, pocketing the money paid to them by the Government for placement of the stones. Because the records for all three cemeteries are so sketchy and in many cases simply nonexistent, today it is impossible to determine WHERE these people are buried. Wanda Hoosier of the West End Neighborhood Association (502-778-1501) is spearheading an effort to raise the money to have the markers arranged to create a memorial made up of three concentric circles with a flagpole in the center next to a bronze plaque. Admittedly, the markers won't be at the respective graves or even necessarily at the right cemetery, but this seems appropriate given the fact that we will never know where these people are really buried. When the markers were found, they were stacked in the shed on top of each other along with debris and old tires. Some were still in crates. I talked with Wanda tonight and she is mailing me a list of the veterans names and dates, a list prepared by the Montford Point Marine Association in hopes of getting the markers erected and locating some of the families involved. Wanda told the paper that she suspects that many of these individuals had no families, which would explain how the former operators of the cemeteries were able to get away with this. Their graves are believed to be in all three of the sites in question, one of which is the oldest Jewish cemetery in Louisville (Schardein Cem.). I am going to suggest to Wanda that she contact the Veterans Administration to see what information they can provide of these markers. Since they are fairly recent, the VA may be able to help a great deal. A fundraising drive is underway and I should have information on that as well in a few days. Unfortunately, neither the story nor the pictures are featured on the Courier-Journal website. Thought you might be interested in this. If you know anyone who might be interested in helping (such as veterans groups, etc.), feel free to pass along this e-mail message.

Elly I do not know for sure if the below address and phone numbers will work for you or not as I went into the USA 800 phone number when I ordered. I believe that the distribution center can supply any of the offered disk sets. This was the only reference I have that relates to someone outside of the US trying to reach the LDS Distribution center. Hope this helps.

These sets sound like just what I need, do you happen to have an address for snail mail, or better yet, an internet address where one can order these on line. I live in Australia and I can't really call them that easily. Look forward to your reply.

I live in Southampton, Hants (UK) and would be happy to undertake local research in exchange for research in North London, Surrey, Sussex, NW Kent or Dorset . Please send me a note

I got the following info recently and thought it sounded very exciting. I thought all of you might like to know. I have not seen the CD's yet but have ordered the North Armerican one. If anyone is curious, ask me after mid Nov and I will know what they are like. The Family History Department of the LDS Church has announced the release of the British Vital Records Index on compact discs for home use. This Windows based resource file contains information on more than 4.7 million christenings, births and marriages that occurred in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland from 1538 to 1888. This information came from British church and vital records collected as part of the Church's extraction program. The amount of information varies greatly by time period and locality. The British Vital Records Index is available for only $15 for 6 compact discs, item number 50028. The North American Vital Records Index is also now available for home use. The cost is only $19 for 7 compact discs, item number 50029. Both items require a Pentium processor or equivalent, Windows 95 or higher, 8MB RAM (minimum, 16 recommended), CD-ROM drive (8X recommended), SVGA monitor with 256 color capable video card, 25 MB hard disk space. For additional information about these products, you may call 1-800-346-6044. To order call the distribution center at 1-800-537-5971. There is no charge for shipping.

Thanks to all who responded to my request about Soundex on CD. I guess I should have made the request clearer. What I am looking for is not the conversion instructions, but the actual Soundex, specifically I am looking for 1920 Massachusetts. Bill.

Need someone to look up early court records in Pocahontas Co. Wv. I can swap with information on Monroe Co. NY & Indiana Co. Pa. Thanks, Mary Donahue

unsubcribe E Vern Fales descendant of James Fales & Anna Brock evern@cody.wpt.net

Wher can I look for bios or info on subscribers to the 2nd Va charter, London 1609, or Sir Robert Singleton, a suscriber to that charter, thought to be from Singleton Parish, Sussex. Howard Singleton

Does anyone know if and where Soundex on CD may be purchased? Bill Scott.

I would appreciate it if someone would look up any birth information on John H. (could be Harry or Harrison) SMITH, born in Indiana in May of 1864. I have no information beyond this of him or his parents, prior to 1895 when my Grandfather was born. I would appreciate any help any one can give me with this. I live in Lansing, Michigan and am near the State of Michigan Library as well as the largest LDS FHC in this state. I would be happy to do some research for you in return. Karon

I always check messages to see if I can help someone, but I have not had 1 reply to any message that I have posted! Howard Singleton, Butler, Pa.

Looking for site for 1860 census for Fon du Lac WI can anyone help me out here? Sandy P Eugene, OR joe.sandy@att.net -
