    3. Hi Everyone - First off, Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope many of you are enjoying it with family, as I am for the first time in 7 years! Anyway, onto genealogy. I threw out a question earlier in the week, which I already knew the answer to, just wanted to see who else knew. I asked if anyone knew where Charles E. Sheppard, the historian was buried. Well, here's the answer. Overlook Cemetery in Bridgeton, NJ. If you go to the Moseleum, face it, and then go to your left, his is either the second or the third tombstone from the Moseleum. It's right off the road there. Anyway, as so many of us with history in Sounthern New Jersey use his papers, I took a picture of it and will have it developed upon my return to California this weekend. Also, with regard to his papers, at the Vineland Historical Society, they are slowly transcribing them, if you were unaware, for easier reading, many are done, however, the Sheppard Line has yet to be started. I uncovered something at the VHS (so odd, that's the High School initials as well :-) ), they have many cemetery books there which were done by hand by a Charles Baker back in the 1940's or so, well worth a look. Anyway, apparently, Charles, at one time had transcribed as much of the "Sheppard's Mill" Cemetery as was possible, this is also the cemetery of the First Baptist Church of Cohansey, before it moved to Roadstown Road in the 1800's. Anyway, good news, I copied the pages and will also be posting them upon my return to California. I would also like to submit them to the cemetery and internment sites, anyone care to help me by telling me how to go about that? If I get the chance to get back there before I leave, I'll grab a few more, I didn't have enough cash on hand for more, and they don't take checks or check cards! Anyway, that's all for today. Hope everyone has a safe and joyous Thanksgiving. Take care - Deb _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
