    1. [KYJEFFER] New policy for research at Cave Hill Cemetery
    2. Janis Fowler
    3. To the List: Yesterday I stopped at the Cave Hill Cemetery Office and was advised that they have a new policy for genealogy research. As the gentleman explained, so many people are doing this and it is taking so much of their time that they will now charge $20.00 per hour to do research. They do have this charge on display with their general fees for service. If they are emailed a list of names to research, they will email the person back advising them what the fee will be. I asked another person how the cost would be figured if it only takes a few minutes to look up a record on file and she said it would probably be pro rated. (I'm kind of reading between the lines that 1 or 2 names to lookup is not the problem. More likely it is when a person requests several. So, use your own judgment when making a request.) They will continue to assist anyone in finding a grave site with maps. Also, the name with grave location, date of burial and possibly funeral home name is in their public office. A copy is also at the Main Library. BTW...They started keeping newspaper obits in 1945. Janis in Louisville
