We had a very nice lady whose name escapes me now that did some work for us. She offered to go to Evergreen but was told it was very dangerous. She was told all the things you mentioned also. Told her it was not that important to get someone killed much less mugged to get info and pictures. When and if we get a chance maybe we can afford to hire a policeman to go with us. That was a joke but it sounds like you need one. My husband's family (grandmother surname) was part of it and on board but believe they are dead now. The OTTO'S were on board then. Husband's family is BRENNAN, HENSLER, VAN HART, OTTO, and others. But maybe when we get out there will take the time, in mean time no big deal. Being hurt is not worth the genealogy you get there. Sounds like the people that run it now care less, very sad. Thanks for the time, but be careful if you go. Karen
