The State of New Jersey is trying to complete a turnpike project. In doing so the future of a cemetery is at stake. A descendant of one of the 3500 or even possibly 9000 burials in the cemetery has been fighting the various levels of government in order to save the cemetery. It is my understanding that the those involved with the project were going to remove any remains and bury all in one great big mass grave and not make any attempt to notify the descendants/relatives. There is a website which has numerous articles and other information. Your support is needed. There are two ways to speak up and have your voice heard: 1) download a printable petition and obtain signatures, or 2) sign an online petition. I hope that those who have ancestors in the State of New Jersey will support the effort in saving this cemetery. If you don't have ancestors or relatives in New Jersey, then consider the fact that it could happen to a cemetery where your ancestors are buried. The website address is - www.graveinfo.com When I first heard about this a couple of months ago, I was appalled and emailed a couple of letters. I didn't think I would make a difference having no connections to New Jersey, but evidently it helped in some way. So if one can help do something, just think what thousands can do as a group. If you are are other mail lists, please pass this information on. The more signatures, the better chance that the officials in New Jersey as well as all other states will see that we care about our ancestors and respect their burial locations. Thank you for your support. Debbi Geer __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus � Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
