I'd like to announce to the Pennsylvania lists that CemSearch's Pennsylvania Cemetery Inscription Search Engine is online and searchable from http://www.obitcentral.com/cemsearch/ We all love to use www.interment.net and www.findagrave.com and the great Tombstone Transcription Project to located our surnames in cemeteries. But what about all of those great cemetery inscription pages across the web on pages sometimes obscure and hard to find? Even some cemetery inscriptions in Rootsweb servers aren't part of the TTP. CemSearch has done extensive footwork and located hundreds of these pages and provides free search engines to locate your surnames. Cemetery inscription donations are welcome and will help many researchers. If you are an AOL user and have trouble with the search engines, try minimizing the AOL browser and use either Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. This has proven to work for some who have had trouble. Cemsearch is a project of Obituary Central at http://www.obitcentral.com/ Blessings, Bill and Tina Cribbs HELP STOP BREAST CANCER!!!

Mary Jane- I assume you mean the Swedish Lutheran Church in Swedesboro that is now Trinity Episcopal Church? This church really didn't have many PA Dutch members that I am aware of. They were mostly Swedish settlers who descended from the early settlers in New Sweden--I have a few ancestors in those records--but they weren't PA Dutch. I would think the members of the Gloucester County, NJ list (NJGLOUCE-L) would appreciate these records more than the PA Dutch lists would. It is very thoughtful of you to offer. Joan
