    3. Do they only take phone calls or fax? I am looking for the records from the Jacobstown Methodist Church cemetery records. I've called the church but evidently it changed hands and the current people aren't happy with the phone calls they've gotten from people looking for information - and they have none of the cemetery records. I met the people from the Genealogical Society of NJ at the Federation of Genealogical Societies conference, and they had a book of records but show that their copy of these cemetery records were missing, someone took them from the folder. If you can help me, I am looking for some specific people's cemetery information. One other question - does anyone know of something called the "Sykesville" Cemetery ? Thanks for any pointers you might have. Regards, Barbara

    3. Transcription for Sykesville is here online: http://files.usgwarchives.org/nj/burlington/cemeteries/syksville.txt Comment "The whereabouts of the Church records is not known." The listing of this one looks rather short (small cemetery?). Jacobstown book, if this is the one, might be: Cemetery transcriptions, Jacobstown, Burlington County, NJ : Jacobstown Baptist Church Cemetery, Jacobstown Methodist Episcopal Cemetery, Jacobstown Masonic Cemetery (Schoolhouse) / compiled by Doris S. Semon. Notes on this book: Compiled alphabetical list of tombstones and burials in 3 cemeteries in Jacobstown, Burlington County, New Jersey. Compiled in notebook binder by Doris S. Semon from 1984-2005. This book is at Burlington County Library, 5 Pioneer Boulevard, Westampton, NJ 08060. Phone: (609) 267-9660. (Same number the earlier message has). There is a 2003 edition and a 3005 edition there, and both are supposedly checked in now. Good Luck, Liz J 2008/9/7 Barbara <b.bonner@att.net>: > Do they only take phone calls or fax?
