Good morning list, Just signed on and will really appreciate some help. I am looking for the burial place of my ancestor Frederick Snover who died Jan 14, 1830. One source I have says he is buried in Stillwater Cemetery and another source says Old Hardwick Cemetery. Are they one in the same or two different places? Is there any way I can contact the correct cemetery for a map of the grave sites and list of Snovers in that cemetery? I am on a picture taking hunt. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a great week-end and PLEASE SEND RAIN, Dick Witters DeBary, Florida Reply to: rwitters@bitstorm.net
