Linda, I'm not sure that you would call this turning over a grave. But, I have a problem locating my Grandfathers' grave.. He is buried in a cemetery believed to have been displaced by a local lake. My problem is that none of the family was ever contacted about the removal of grave for relocation. On his death certificate is listed the cemetery in question, but, NONE of the family has been able to find his grave in the "relocated" cemetery. This is still very disturbing to us. I'm sorry I'm rambling and not much help...But wanted you to know I'm on a similar quest. There are only 3 of my mother's siblings left and we would like to find him. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks for the ear.

I am trying to help an older woman in the neighborhood (81 yrs) who can not find her parents graves. Even though she had visited the graves many times before. After a 7 year lapse, she went to the cemetary to find no headstones or markers. The cemetary said that no one was buried in that location, and even checked with a long metal probe. The office has no record of her parents being buried there. We have received copies of death certificates, showing the name of the cemetary. And on her fathers burial card it shows the section and lot number. But still the cemetary says no. Her parents died in 1917 and 1921. Has anyone heard of turning over graves. Ands does anyone have any suggestions? Time is running out for her, and I would love to help her out.
