Subject: Re: Cemetery in Patouville - Tombs to be removed to communal grave Hi Eula, I received a notice from a cousin here in Houston...Don Louviere..that he found his 3rd grt grnd fathers tomb and went to see it in Patouville. The St Nicholas Church used to be there but burned in the 1960's and moved to Lydia. But the cemetery that is still there is in bad need of repair to the old tombs. The priest there is giving notice that the graves need to be maintained by relatives by Sept 15 or they will be put in one community grave. This is the same type situation that happened in St. Martinville awhile back. I will send you picts of the tombs that Don sent me. He is trying to get together a list of the ancestors buried there. I ask that he make it alphabetical to make it easier. The problem is that there are many people in La. that are not aware that these people are their ancestors if they are not into genealogy. I would like to get it in the newspapers also. I was wondering if you could pass the word at your next genealogy meeting. If you could it would be a big help.
