Hi Again: I am going to try one last time here. BE SPECIFIC as possible in what you are asking for. If you can supply dates, names etc., do so. In fact when composing your query, look at it and ask yourself : "how would I go about trying to answer this query if it was from another person"? Generalities aren't going to get you very far. Usually the caretaker of the cemetery has a plot book which should tell you some facts such as date of death, in this case, St. Joseph's Cemetery would more than likely mean that the person was Catholic. Go to the Catholic church closest to the cemetery and ask for a lookup. Might send a couple of dollars and don't forget an SASE. If you get an negative answer, then your couple of dollars has been well spent! Cheaper than going there in person especially if you are living in California! :-) You could also ask about researchers in the area. who would be willing to do some hunting. Of course be prepared to pay, but again, the money is well spent if even nothing is found. Remember, a researcher is not a mind reader either! BE SPECFIC. You can also try a query on the list to ask about the various Catholic churches. You'd be surprised what you can find out by asking questions, but BE SPECIFIC. Remember "NO" is a good answer! One avenue then having been searched. BTW, I have been JUBALANTLY pleased with my resources located in and around "Hazeltine City"!!!!!
