I have to tell you all that what Keith has said about FindAGrave is true. I have had the great luck in finding relatives on FAG and having the kind people take a tombstone photo. Not too long ago Emmanuel Cemetery in Penns Grove only had a few memorials; now, it has over 500 entries and lots of photos taken by the volunteers. FAG is a great website which helps all of us find ancestors without any cost to you. If you haven't visited the site, I would recommend you do so. You might find that "missing link."
