I just wanted to let you know someone did get your message. When do you plan on coming to Metropolis? If you can give me a week I will try to get all of your questions answered. I do know one of the researchers but unfortunately the other one has since died. I'll get you a map of Metropolis and simple directions (simple is all I know how to give) <grin> I am last years President of the Massac County Genealogical Society and the Secretary/Treasurer this year. My name is Deena Harris, and I'm always glad to be able to help a Society member from out of this area. I will get back to you within a week....Deena -----Original Message----- From: BPGENRO@aol.com <BPGENRO@aol.com> To: ILMASSAC-L@rootsweb.com <ILMASSAC-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, April 30, 2000 3:38 AM Subject: [ILMASSAC] Please, I Need Cemetery Help > > I need more information about the Buzzards Roost Cemetery in Massac County. > It is also known as Old Hall Cemetery and Mt.
