well surely they wouldnt all be buried in the same grave........it would be mighty crowded. Kaye www.bananatv.com/familytreechecklist.htm ----- Original Message -----
With the cost of headstones being a bit pricy for some it makes sense to have one real nice one for an area or family plot and to have all the names put on the one stone. I've seen that a lot looking for my family in Irish Catholic cemeteries in New York. That plus after a certain number of years because of decomposition you can stack coffins. After finding some of my family in New York the care takers there told me 1. I had family there. 2. There was still room in a few of the family plots. and 3. I owed upkeep costs on the plot. If I could show direct relationship to the past owner I could "move in". I came back to Los Angeles and told my New York husband we had property right next to where he grew up. He asked about the "neighborhood" so I read off a few names and he said it sounded good to him. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kaye vernon" <kjvernon@bigpond.net.au> To: <irl-cork@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 12:23 AM Subject: Re: (CORK) Where do I look? > well surely they wouldnt all be buried in the same grave........it would > be > mighty crowded. > Kaye > www.bananatv.com/familytreechecklist.htm > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > IRL-CORK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message
Well, that's another problem, Beth. Not all ARE on the headstone. In fact, sometimes very few of them are on there...but they are down there.

Kaye and all, It is very common to have 3-4 buried at a time in a single grave, one on top of the other. It is also common to recycle graves after a time. Yes, they may all have been buried there at one time or another.
