Peggy, you shouldn't be surprised at your experience. More than once, as I was about to leave a cemetery after walking up and down the rows in frustration, I came upon the grave I was looking for, or others I didn't know were there. Often, these last minute finds came after fervent prayer. I really do believe the spirits reach out to us. I know this sounds weird when explaining it to non-believers, but as an LDS member, I really do believe that we will get help "from beyond the veil" to locate information on our deceased loved ones. By the way, this help is not limited to LDS members, as I've heard similar stories from non-members. ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Re: Fw: [HANDCART-L] Anybody out there? Author: shippey1@juno.com Date: 7/12/98 1:25 PM Just got back from my "Vacation". My daughter, two grandson's and I went to Las Vegas. My niece was just diagnosed with advanced cancer. We wanted to be with her for the tests and possible surgery. She is doing great, thank's to many prayers and fasting. On the way we stopped for gas in Parawan. I knew I had Pioneer ancestor's from this town. It was terribly hot and the babies were miserable. We made a quick run to the cemetery. We went up one road and looped around, to leave. Too hot and no time to "walk" the cemetery, but wanted to at least see where they were buried. We looked out the car window and spotted a Pioneer Plack on a headstone. You know it, it was the very one I was looking for! With in a few minutes, we located every grave we wanted to see and took pictures of all the headstones. What a wonderful experience. My daughter, who does not work on Genealogy was amazed. Turned out to be a great trip.
