Thank you for your suggestion, Sara. I called the cemetery and it worked! My grandfather who I never knew actually died on my birthday!

I concur with Mary. I have gone to them in person and via long distance telephone and the office staff at Mt.Olivet always seems very condescending. I realize that they are busy. Please do not go on Friday or Monday those days seem to be especially stressful for them. Do you know by chance what church these folks attended? In their records you may find an exact date of death. Have you tried the archives of the Buffalo News? Is there someone in the area who goes to the library regularly and would check the microfilmed newspaper records for June of 1979? You may have to hire a researcher. For that one search it would not be too expensive. Good Luck!!! Sara Burkholder ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
