Hello Members! I need your help. Holy Sepulchre told me they could not provide me with two grave locations UNLESS I know the EXACT dates of death. (Since some records are in the computer and some are not.) *Gladys Sandusky CROWLEY died probably between 1940 and 1950. *William J. CROWLEY died probably in the 1950's. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what to do next? Even if I made the trip up there; it is my understanding that this is a large cemetery and just "walking around" would not be realistic. Thanks and Smiles, Deborah in McDonough, GA

Deborah Do you know their birthdates or social security numbers? If so, go to the SSDI at roots web and do a search. There were about 30 Gloria Crowley and about 300 William Crowley. Contact the SSDI for their application if you can. Also, have you contacted Philadelphia or Pennsylvania regarding death records at that time. Those records may be indexed and easy to search, so the fee may not be that great. You may also want to contact the genealogical or historical societies in Phila and see if this cemetery has an index. Another option would be to order the films for directories in Phila and see what year they stopped being listed.

Hi, Deborah. What about sending away for their death certificates so you have the exact dates? Lynne a former neighbor of yours (from near Stone Mountain!) SRedden500@aol.com wrote: > Hello Members!
