That is interesting. In 1993 I was there, map in hand looking for my ancestors' graves. The cemetery did not resemble the map at all and I thought that the graves should be about where the parking garage was. Did they make any list when they moved them. I am familiar with the book that lists graves for the Elizabeth graveyard, but of course, am hoping there is another list with more names. Sheri ----- Original Message ----- From: Glenn G.
