Donna, My husband's cousin has a copy of the deed. I don't think there is a list on the owners available to the public. In fact, the way we first found out that my husband's cousin was the owner was that I can read some writing upside down. I recognized her name. The person in the cemetery office had the book out to look at the deed info. He wouldn't give out the original owner's address even though she was dead over fifty years. He told us you have to wait for 100 years from the purchase date for that info if I remember his comments correctly. Check with the cemetery. Not sure how you can prove you are the rightful heir, though. Do you really want to pay the perpetual care bill? If the graves are full, what's the point? If they are not, would you use the graves? I am curious on how it would be handle. Nora Hopkins FitzGerald Hopkins - Castlebar, Co. Mayo/New York City Grant - Drumboniff, Co.
