And because -I- wrote them, they were not bounced to the listowner as usual. Apologies about the duplication.

i'd suggest checking with the cemetery office before trying this..... many cemeteries have very strict rules as to what you can place on a gravesite.... balloons, zip-loc bags and paperwork aren't permitted many places.... and most memorial day stuff is removed after a specified period of time, so you'd have a pretty small window of opportunity anyways... steve koons, dayton, ohio

I love this idea! Thank you. I used a zip lock bag to leave a message in a bunch of silk flowers after having the cemetery people trash my flowers over and over when they were brand new. (I guess it was easier to trash them than put them back.) Anyway, I used the ziploc bag method but if you're careful you can use a hole punch in the top of the bag, just above the zipper. No tape to weather. In my case, I plucked one of the flowers off, put the stem through the hole and popped the flower back on. Shirley Pearson ----- Original Message ----- From: W.

My name is Irene Butler Mott,I live in Massachusetts, and I'm a former lst Grade teacher who has started genealogy research as my retirement project. I read many references to you and your wealth of knowedge on the archives website. So I hoped if I contacted you and told you what I know about my line, you might be able to share some information or point me in the right direction. My Dad's father was James Grant Butler (b. 1870 Gates,N.C. died 1943, Boston, Mass.). His family ties were always a mystery as there was no contact with the family line in N.C. After my own father (James' son Edward) died, I found information in his things and learned that my grandfather James Grant had married Annie McGowan in Boston after coming here while working on the railroad. I obtained a copy of their marriage certificate (Oct. 1900) from Boston, Mass. City Hall and then learned that James' parents were Mary Ann Rooks and Thomas Butler (b. circa 1825 Hertford County, N.C.). Then I started going on the Gates,Hertford, Butler, and Rooks message boards and archives. I've been in contact with other people researching the Butler line. I've learned that Mary Ann Rooks was the daughter of David and Polly Rooks. AND that Thomas Butler was one of three step brothers....also David and John Patrick Butler. They all had different fathers and mother was a Mary Butler from Hert! ford County, NC who we think was born in 1805. These three Butler brothers all married Rooks sisters! My Thomas to Mary Ann Rooks, Oct. 16, 1856; David to Nancy Hall Rooks, and John Patrick to Margaret Elizabeth Rooks. Have you ever found any information on this Butler/Rooks line? Any advice for me? Thank you for your time. Irene e mail ibott63@aol.com
