Hi all, I have an ancestor named Babetta Ertle, I do not know her maiden name. She was born in 1832 in Switzerland. Her husband was Albert Ertle, he died in 1907 and they are both buried along with some of their family at Ridgefield Cemetery in Ridgefield. I do not have her date of death and that is what I need. She died between 1910-1920. I called the cemetery several years ago, they knew I was from out of state, I am in Virginia, and told me it would be $35.00 to check the plot or interment cards, at the time, I was not sure they were buried there. A nice man a few years ago went there and took photos of the graves and said the caretaker did a nice job and judging from the photos he sure does thank goodness. Unfortunately her stone just said Mother. Her husband had two stones both with dates! One from the Catholic Church. But, anyway I still do no t know when my Babetta died. I have 2 photos of her. What does anyone suggest. I cannot find a website or an e-mail address for the cemetery. Should I try calling them again about 5 years later or write? I even contacted by phone just recently the registrar of records and wanted them to search for her but they say their records do not go back that far and the state charges a fortune now for a record. Two years ago it was $4.00 and now it is $25.00! Ridiculous. Help!! Any suggestions I would appreciate. Thank you. God bless, Beth in Va. deliaesther@att.net

Hi again... Out of curiousity I checked findagrave.com and found Albert Ertle, with a photo too - the site could not find a Babette Ertle, but mention of her is in the website for Albert. Good luck...
