Since I couldn't find any details, I decided to dig them up myself. You can see the results and locate your ancestors by going to my uncompleted web page at: <http://home.att.net/~charliefies/HummZions.html> This page is lacking completion with photos and the like, and hasn't been proofed by anyone yet. You just might like what you see. The old and new graveyards are so designated in the one Web Site, and sorted Alphabetically. Completion pending. -- Regards, CHARLES EARL FIES -- Fies Family Fotos <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/> FIES/FEES Family History Research Site <http://www.fies-fees.org> BABB - HARTMAN <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/Babbs.html> DAUPHIN CO.
