You bet Clyde - that's our favorite brand!! However back to the cemeteries - Jim, there is a master map at the Vedder that shows an approximate location of cemeteries they have transcribed intheir collection. I have a copy of that, but also additional dots on mine that show cemeteries I have found.

Going back to our conversation on the Van Loon cemeteries, I remember in Beer's History of Greene County that some of the chapter authors spoke of cemeteries disappearing way back in 1884. And your surveys sometimes note missing stones in still existing cemeteries. I wonder if some of the old private cemeteries were simply overtaken by nature and neglect. More ominously I wonder if some of the gravestones in plots in the middle of fields disappeared below plow depth - you know just sink the stones a little bit. Or wound up dragged away for use as footings for the porch steps. In my built-up town in North Jersey I went looking for a Reformed Dutch Church cemetery as a random act of kindness last year. Somebody had seen an old transcript of it that had been put on a website. I had never heard of the cemetery and initially told him there was no such thing, but after some digging into old building records found out where the old church had been before being torn down sometime in the mid-1900's. According to the old records, the cemetery was off to one side of the church. So I went down and paced off to the best of my ability where the old church and cemetery should have been. There was a small, relatively recent apartment building, a parking lot, an unpaved area and then a property line for a private home. No cemetery, no stones, just that small piece of unpaved, unused ground. Begging the question - was that it and, if so, what happened to it. Nobody knows. The interred are still there or they were moved. Maybe there's something at the county level, but nobody local knows what happened to the previously interred. One break in the chain of knowledge and a cemetery gets anonymous real quick. Jim
