Mary- Since you live in Wisconsin, I'm not sure if you're aware of the significance of the Mravlag surname within Elizabeth, N.J. The present Mravlag Manor(built in 1930's?)as subsidized housing. I believe it is still owned by the City of Elizabeth. My understanding is that Dr. Mravlag(Victor?) was a much respected and influential resident of the City. Try the Elizabeth Public Library for family history, City Directories and/or obits. Family name well known in Elizabeth with biographical info. I'm certain a few other list members are knowledgable re: Mravlag. The clerical staff at Evergreen Cemetery are people who have lived most of their lives in the Elizabeth and Newark area. They're probably familiar with the Mravlag name. Arm yourself with as much family history as you can to establish your connection to Elizabeth, N.J. and the Mravlag name. Then call the office and engage them in conversation re: request for burial info. They receive many written requests from individuals across the U.S. Save time and possibly get more info. if you establish a verbal contact with them. susan ---- Original Message ----- From: <LMJack15@aol.com> To: <njessex@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 7:40 PM Subject: Re: [NJESSEX] Mravlag naturalization & Evergreen Cemetery > > In a message dated 3/8/2007 4:31:42 P.M.

Yes I am aware of Dr. Victor Mravlag's standing in the Elizabeth community including the fact that he was the mayor and quite a politition. I do have a collection of histories, newpaper articles, etc. about the family. His first wife Lucy Allen Griffith Mravlag was also a physician. I have his family history back to 1743 in Graz Slovenia (Austria) and his college years in Vienna. I called Evergreen Cemetery. The first two phone calls went to voice mail which I never got a callback. Finally on the 3rd call a person answered who said she was in the office alone and had no time to do a thorough search for me. She did gave me the burial location by phone for Cordelia Mravlag. But when I asked about any other Mravlag she started giving me the run-around. When I mentioned her husband Victor Mravlag being cremated she said that he is interred with Cordelia. After I mentioned their son who died in the early 1900's she said he is buried next to them. It was like pulling teeth. Finally she said that I have to send a written request with $25.00 for a more thorough search. I know that Victor Srs. first wife is buried there too as I have her death certificate. They say they have no burial location for her. I think she may be buried under her maiden name or something else as she was always referred to as Lucy Allen Griffith Mravlag. I did mail the $25 and a letter requesting a thorough search of records. BTW she said they had to bring in someone special to do this search for me.
