Gabriele, I do have people there (Bethel Slope area) but they were buried and stayed put. Would they have been moved to there from a different cemetery? Different dates of relocation might have been for financial reasons. Possibly there never were tombstones. I had a surname only marker put in Cypress Hills where there are 13 burials and never a tombstone. I was unaware of an 'archivist.' This is someone outside the office?? --Noelle On Jan 25, 2008 11:12 AM, N.
