    3. Liz, I agree. I wasted more than a year trying to find my grandfather. Two years prior I asked about a family member with date. They told me they had a Mary Falsey, but the age didn't agree to the one I was looking for.. I didn't pursue it. A year later I found a will in the historical papers for my grandmother Mary Reddy. Same date so I wrote again. They sent me notice they had someone buried there with that name and requested, I believe $44.00 - this depends on the amount of people buried in grave. It was not the Mary they told me about originally. They sent me the list of people buried in the two graves and requested $1,725 for perpetual care. They had all my family including both Mary's but did have an Arthur Radrake (sp). I did not know him and my grandfather's name was missing. After a year I finally got to the Cemetery and my grandfather's name was listed on the tombstone. I called and questioned Arthur's name and they told me it was an error they copied the wrong name. I know it is hard to read the microfische but it had for us who are trying to find where our family is buried. That was two errors on their part. Also we are paying a fee, which is fine but they should be more careful. I did not pay the peretual care.
