    3. A couple of days ago, I posted that when I called Holy Cross to check if someone was buried there, the woman I spoke to said he was, and gave me the plot info. When I asked her if anyone else was buried in the grave, she said, "Lots of people are buried with him, but you'll have to write a letter, include your questions, and $105.00." That was so random and specific at the same time... I said no one had ever asked for money before, and she said, "Well, now we do. Somebody has to do the research, and it takes time." I thanked her and hung up. No one appreciates their valuable help more than I do, but I know when she looked up the basic info, everything else I wanted to know was right there. I stopped in last year with 3 pages of names to check (hoping to be able to do it myself - not expecting them to do it) and they took my list and in about 10 minutes brought all the answers back to me, with several possibly related families they thought might help me. They were beyond wonderful, and I am eternally grateful. After another couple of days I called back, planning to ask about this new system, and the woman I spoke to that time was as confounded as I was. She offered to check the info for me, and she generously did so, at no charge. I wonder what that was all about. Anyone else encountered this person wanting $105.00? Judi
