Ok, Broad Street is located on Broad Street in Bridgeton, right across from the middle school (Old High School). Who said you can't drive in there? I went there in November and they hold a Christmas Eve Service at the church every year. As for the state of the graves, yes, many of them have been damaged, but, many are still in good condition, some are being slowly restored, there are also some you can't read or find because the words have worn away or they have sunken in the ground. Now, where the records are held currently, that would be at the Lummis Library in Greenwich, I will be going back there again in the next couple of weeks. There are currently two books for the cemetery, one has been redone alphabetically, the other is in the process of. If you'd like, give me the names you need and I'll be happy to take a look next time I'm there and e mail you the information. As to the soldiers home, could you be a bit more specific as to a street? There are several developmental and state instiutions in Vineland, if you can be a bit more specific, I can inquire at the Vineland Historical Society when I go there in the next couple of weeks as well.
