Hi Lisa, I was extremely successful with Lutheran 2 years ago for family records. Call and ask for Adriana - she is very helpful. If you have one family member there and you know name and date of death call her and ask if that one person is "residing" there. After she gives you the news, then ask how many other persons there are in the plot. She then told me. She won't give all the info over the phone, but you can pay $3 per name, give a credit card, and they will type up your list, and mail it to you. The list will include names, addresses at death, place of death, cause of death. I discovered family members who were on the "missing list". People we didn't know of, and a child we were never told about. It is well worth it. Later I discovered another family member, called Adriana and discovered more of the family. What a find this was! This part of the family were my great grandfathers family, whom was a secret (ya know the family denial, and secrets), and what ever happened, we will now have difficulty discovering. The 2 plots of these 2 families aren't far apart, t great grandma hid the truth. That's not all she hid. I have had photos from the family of the one plot. I would love to have pictures of the 2nd plot, and the individual headstones in Luthern Cemetery. I am in California, and don't see getting to New YOrk any time soon. Have fun searching. Judy in CA
