HI listers. I am excited to be traveling to PA this weekend to visit the cemetery that so many of my relatives are resting. A few months ago I vaguely remember reading an email about suggestions on things to bring with you when visiting plots. Does anyone have suggestions for me? thanks so much Leigh

I recently went in search of my grandmother....oh boy what a day. My suggestions are these: a foam kneeling pad like you use for gardening because you will be. Your gardening tools as well. A plot map of the cemetery. Ask the office to include the names in the plots next to , below and above for reference in case the markers you are looking for are missing or unreadable. Your camera, an umbrella, a cooler with water and even lunch maybe. Your favorite prayer so you can implore God or any one else that may be listening to help you find your loved ones and a sense of humor. It will be a personality challenge. Good luck. By the way I went on labor day, the office was closed, I had no plot map and never found either grave I was looking for. It started raining, turned cold and dark and I will be much better prepared when I return which I will do just on principle!!!!! Darlene A wisk broom would be helpfull too

How about a camera. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Lejax99@aol.com> To: <IRISH-AMERICAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 2:39 PM Subject: [Irish-American] going to family cemetery > HI listers. > I am excited to be traveling to PA this weekend to visit the cemetery that > so > many of my relatives are resting.
