Sharon The books being referred to are books at any genealogical library. Many of the persons on the mailing lists do have some in their possession. I myself have gone through some of the cemeteries and yes this is a huge ordeal. Although there are books with the listings and some persons have copied parts here and there and these would be most helpful for the persons in out of state areas who cannot access either the cemetery or the library. I have never in my searching found records of only persons who purchased the plots. My great grandparents purchased 8 plots in Mannan cemetery and yet they are listed only one time there. Perhaps my father was in error to post it to the Putnam list we are sorry to have asked something that I guess we are talking about 2 different types of listings.
