Anyone care to put on your thinking caps and tell me what my next step should be? I have a copy of my great grandfather's naturalization papers. According to them, he was a widower when he came over here. I saw a copy of the passenger list at FHC and there was only him and a brother listed (if I copied the passenger list, I have lost it by now...). I have never (20+ years of digging) been able to find out anymore about his wife (my great-grandmother), other than her birthdate (no burial or death date in Scotland that I can find without hiring someone, which I can't afford.). Several years after he came to the states, his mother and another brother came over and brought his 2 sons. I bought the Benld cemetery book where most of his branch of the family is buried. In the book it lists great grandpa (Wm Robertson) buried with his second wife and underneath it lists the name of Mary (this one I am looking for). So I wrote to the cemetery (just addressed it to Benld City Cemetery Board for lack of anything else) and asked if there were any further records there about why Mary's name would be listed and if there was a record of her being buried there. And in the back of my mind I am thinking I can't see anyone spending the money to bring her body from Scotland. While we were home 4th of July weekend, we stopped at the cemetery and there is no mention of Mary on the same tombstone with William and Alice (the 2nd wife). I have never received an answer to the letter I wrote (not a big surprise - probably lost by now). To futher complicate matters, the cemetery book says Mary died in 1919. William's Petition for Naturalization clearly states (dated 1915) that Mary is deceased! So, did Willie lie on his petition, and if he did why would anyone need to? Or the date in the cemetery book is wrong. But if she is not buried in Benld, why would her name be in the records? I am waiting on a death index sheet now for all the Mary ROBERTSONs. I would really apprecitate any input... Thanks, Pam
