    3. Okay, I'm tryin this again. I was playing around on google for the Old Cohansey Baptist Cemetery and came across this url: http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc05/abstracts/a1008.html "The Old Cohansey Baptist Cemetery, located in Western Cumberland County, New Jersey, provides invaluable information on 18th and 19th century funerary and cultural patterns, as well as insight on local Revolutionary War history. While researching the County Historical Society owned cemetery, it was discovered that there were no known maps of the cemetery. Detailed mapping and an archaeological typology were performed over a period of three years by a multidisciplinary group including a planner, a professor, a historian, and university students." It's a very interesting PDF with pictures. However, since I couldn't read the map in the PDF, I emailed the planner (her email's on the PDF) and asked her if she had a larger one that I could have and she emailed me one I uploaded it to my webspace for this list to use, so please don't link it anywhere. I'm just trying to save myself time and the planner from getting 238284428 emails for it. http://www.geocities.com/jiggilypuffs/oldcohansey/Cohansey_Baptist_names_points.pdf Ms. Mollick (the planner) mentioned that she had spent so much time there that she knew the names, but didn't know anything about them. So if any of your relatives are in there (you can tell by the listing on the right side), please email me for her email address, or email her at her address listed at the end of the PDF (it's the same one that I have). Since she's not in charge of the cemetery or involved in the records, there's no sense in emailing her asking about surnames, it's wasting both of your times. She's just like to know a little about her "adopted" ancestors. Thanks! -andrea
