Fred, All of those books have been available for years, but they are copyrighted and being sold for a profit - and thus, not available to put online for free research. Our only alternative has been to do new surveys, which is not a bad idea - some of those surveys were done 40 years ago, and a few ppl have died since then. Mary Anne is a Union Parish resident who has been gracious enough to slog around in mud, heat, rain, and mosquitos (we won't talk about the snakes - a-a-a-agh!!) to bring us new, fresh, and completely copyright free surveys so they can be put on line to be accessed free! I for one appreciate her efforts, Karen Rice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred or Freida Hamilton" <fredh@cox-internet.com> To: <LAUNION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 7:18 PM Subject: Re: [Union Parish LA] Fw: Research site >I thought all the Union parish cemeteries had already been surveyed.

I also appreciate everything she does for researches. I don't think Fred meant anything other than they had been surveyed already. This is true, but we have to remember new folks have been buried there with their ancestors and without people like Mary Anne to update them, we would have to travel miles and miles to see who and how many have been added. Thanks Mary Anne and Fred, keep asking questions. That is the only way we will find out the answers.

SueLyn is right. I just didn't think Mary Anne knew about the surveys and I was trying to save her some work. I think it is great to have the cemeteries online.
