As a side note to some of the last messages about cemeteries, this might bring some "possible" humor to you or maybe not. While monitoring another Rootsweb forum I came upon the following: "I was at a local FHC today and was working with a man names Ferguson on his genealogy. His family located to NYC in about 1840. He found the cemetery where his ancestors were buried and did the usual, picture taking, inquiring of the cemetery staff, etc. Shortly thereafter, he received a bill from the cemetery for the perpetual care oh his ancestor's graves in the amount of $8000. I was so stunned, I never asked if he paid for it." This is shocking, but maybe not too far fetched in today's times of high costs of labor. But really --. I guess only in NYC this could happen.
