    1. [MOJEFFER] A Plastic Sandwich Bag Did The Trick!!!!
    2. I just wanted to share something with the list that I have found to be very helpful. Recently, I went on a "research trip" to Pulaski, Washington and Jefferson Counties, MO. I was searching for information on a family named MILLER. William Miller married my great Aunt, Elizabeth Ann JACKSON. I thought William MILLER was buried in the Hazelgreen Cemetery, (a CLUE from familysearch.com) and so I went to Hazelgreen Cemetery and sure enough I found William's final resting place. I wrote a note explaining who I was and what I was searching for, then I placed the note inside a plastic sandwich bag, sealed it tight and using a small strip of velcro, attached it close to the bottom of the tombstone. Today, I received a letter from the grand daughter of William's brother, Charles. She enclosed the names, b-dates and d-dates of William MILLER's siblings. Her aunt is 91 years old and takes care of the graves at the cemetery and she found my note. So if anyone is going to pay their respects at their ancestor's graves, think about leaving a note, in a conspicuous place, but DO NOT attach it where you will noticeably mar the tombstone. Good Luck. Mary marykell@aol.com
